ace Keno — Pick Your Numbers, Win Big Prizes
Keno at ace is a game where you pick your favourite numbers from 1 to 80. In each round, 20 numbers are drawn, and the more of your chosen numbers match, the bigger the prize. This lottery-style game has simple rules and fast rounds, making it popular with new and experienced players alike.
How tickets, cards and the draw work
Each round of Keno starts with a Keno card or ticket. The card has numbered cells from 1 to 80 arranged in order. A player can pick between 1 and up to 10 numbers — these chosen numbers are called "spots". The more spots you pick, the more prize tiers are available.
Once the bet is placed, the game's random number generator (RNG) automatically picks 20 numbers at random from the 80. This process is called the "draw". Each draw is completely independent — the result of a previous round has no effect on the next.
As soon as the draw ends, the result appears on screen. How many of the player's chosen spots match the 20 drawn numbers is the "hit" count. The number of hits determines the prize tier.
Rounds in ace's Keno finish very quickly — usually within a few seconds to one minute. This means you can play many rounds in a row. You can play with a single card or pick multiple tickets at the same time, creating more than one chance to win in each draw.

6 spots were picked, 5 of them came up in the draw
Win types and number picking strategy
A "winning pattern" in Keno means how many of your chosen spots matched the 20 drawn numbers. If you picked 5 spots and all 5 match, that is called a "5 of 5" hit — it pays the highest prize tier. In some variants a zero hit, meaning none of your numbers matched, also carries a special prize.
There is no mathematically "best" way to pick numbers — every draw is completely random. However, many players follow certain approaches:
- Personal numbers: Picking dates of birth, ages of family members, or other memorable numbers.
- Spread picks: Taking numbers from different corners of the card — both from the low end and the high end.
- Middle cluster: Picking numbers close together between 20 and 60.
- Auto-pick: Clicking the game's own random selection button to choose numbers.
Remember, Keno is a game of chance. Reading ace's responsible gaming guidelines will help you enjoy the game.
Fewer spots (1–3)
Fewer numbers make hitting easier, but the prize tiers are smaller. A good choice if you want to play with lower risk.
Low riskMedium spots (4–6)
The most popular approach. Creates a balance between prize size and probability.
Balanced approachMore spots (7–10)
More spots are chosen for higher prizes, but matching all of them is harder.
High prize targetZero hit bonus
Some variants pay out even when no numbers match — a notable option worth keeping an eye on.
Special featurePrize structure in detail
Keno prizes depend directly on two things — how many spots you picked in total, and how many of them matched the draw. Increasing the number of spots you pick on the same bet changes the pay table.
The prize structure generally works as follows:
- Partial hit: Matching half or more of your chosen spots usually starts paying a smaller prize. For example — matching 3 out of 6 spots may return the bet at a certain multiplier.
- Full hit (catch all): Matching all your chosen spots pays the biggest prize. The more spots you pick and match, the higher the multiplier.
- Jackpot tier: In some variants, matching all 8–10 spots pays a special higher jackpot prize.
- Zero hit prize: In some variants, picking 7–10 spots and matching none of them pays a small bonus payout.
Below is a simplified example pay table (assuming 5 spots picked):
| Hits (out of 5) | Prize tier |
|---|---|
| 0 hits | Nothing (varies by variant) |
| 1 hit | Nothing (usually) |
| 2 hits | Small partial return of bet |
| 3 hits | Several times the bet |
| 4 hits | High multiplier prize |
| 5 hits | Top prize (catch all) |
The exact pay table depends on the specific variant. Check the pay table for the specific game on the ace platform before playing.
Same ticket across multiple rounds
Many Keno variants at ace let you use the same set of numbers across multiple rounds. Turning on the "multi-race" or "auto-play" option lets you play several rounds without re-selecting numbers each time.
Practical tips for managing your budget
Set a session budget
Decide how much you will spend in each playing session before you start. Stop the session when that amount is used up — whether you are winning or losing.
Smaller bets, more rounds
Keno is a fast game — placing smaller bets over more rounds extends your total playing time and reduces the chance of a large loss all at once, compared to placing large bets.
Save a portion of winnings
If you win a large amount in a round, set aside a fixed portion of those winnings. Avoid putting all your winnings back into the next round.
Set a time limit
Keep a timer when playing on mobile or desktop. Playing for a long stretch at a time reduces your ability to make clear decisions.
Avoid chasing losses
Raising your bet to recover losses after several rounds without a win is risky. Accepting a loss and sticking to your plan is the sensible approach.
Take breaks
ace's platform has responsible gaming tools. You can set breaks or limits whenever you need to. See ace's responsible gaming page for details.
Keep in mind
Keno is a game of chance. No strategy guarantees a win in every draw. Play the game for entertainment — not as a source of income.
