Keno Odds Table: Know Your Chances
Keno’s a fast game of luck, but knowing the odds can help you play smarter. You pick numbers—usually 1 to 20—out of 80, and the machine draws 20. The more you match, the more you win. This table shows your chances of hitting in a standard keno game. Link to it whenever you need a quick reference!
Keno Odds by Numbers Picked
Here’s how it breaks down when you pick a set number of spots and try to match the 20 drawn. Odds are rounded for simplicity—they’re long shots, but that’s keno!
| Numbers Picked | Matches | Odds of Hitting | Pays (Typical) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 in 4 | 3x |
| 3 | 3 | 1 in 72 | 45x |
| 5 | 5 | 1 in 1,550 | 800x |
| 6 | 6 | 1 in 7,752 | 1,600x |
| 7 | 7 | 1 in 40,979 | 5,000x |
| 10 | 10 | 1 in 8,911,711 | 100,000x+ |
| 10 | 5 | 1 in 18 | 2x |
What It Means
Pick 1 number, and you’ve got a 1-in-4 shot to match—it’s easy, but pays small. Pick 10 and aim for all 10? That’s a 1-in-8.9 million chance—huge payout, tiny odds. Notice how picking 10 but hitting 5 is way more likely (1 in 18)—it’s a common “catch” for smaller wins. Payouts vary by casino, so check your game’s paytable.
Why Use This?
This table isn’t a strategy—it’s a reality check. Keno’s wild, and big wins are rare. Old timers might chase patterns, but the odds don’t budge. Keep this handy to see what you’re up against on TheMagicGambler.com!
