Gambling is a big part of the Queensland lifestyle, with the Sunshine State housing more casinos than any other state in Australia, with world class casinos scattered across the coast from Brisbane to the Far North. Keno is a favourite game for those who want something a little more laid back without requiring the strategy of a table game or the autonomy of the pokies.
Best online Keno websites
Keno’s availability outside of casino walls to within pubs and retail outlets makes it a popular game for those who otherwise aren’t big on gambling but enjoy a little thrill with the possibility of a life-changing win.

How to play keno in Queensland
Keno is an easy game to play as it’s a game of chance which requires absolutely no strategy, making it suitable for newbies and seasoned keno players. When purchasing a keno ticket, all that’s required of you is to use a pencil to select to play anywhere from 1 to 40 numbers from the digits listed 1 through 80 on the keno ticket. If you’re short on time or don’t have any particular lucky numbers in mind, you can just choose the “keno kwikpik” option when buying a ticket at the counter so the keno system will randomly select the numbers for you.
Keno can also be played electronically on computerised screens in some venues. The rules and gameplay are exactly the same as when purchasing a paper ticket, the only difference being players use the touch screen to make their selections instead of completing the card manually.
Along with standard keno gameplay, there are a couple of extra options for QLD players to boost their chances of a bigger win:
Keno Bonus Game – selecting to play the keno bonus game means the cost of your ticket will double, but you will have the chance to multiply any keno wins you make by X2, X3, X4, X5 or X10.
Keno Heads or Tails – purchasing a keno ticket or touch card in Queensland also provides the option of playing the additional Heads or Tails keno game. This add-on requires you to choose either heads (that more numbers drawn will appear in the top half of the keno card), tails (that more numbers drawn will appear in the bottom half of the keno card) or evens (that an equal amount of numbers will be drawn from both the top and bottom sections of the card). A successful prediction will award you with double your money.
Keno Advanced – purchasing a Keno Advanced ticket allows you to play multiple entries in each game on a single ticket. Winning combinations are formed by combining groups of numbers.
Online keno for Queenslanders
If you don’t live near a keno outlet or you would simply prefer to enjoy the convenience of playing keno online, there are many reputable Internet sites allowing Aussie players to indulge in real money keno games. We recommend the following online casinos for Queenslanders looking to play keno using AUD:
Each of these sites is protected by a minimum of 128 Bit SSL Security Encryption to ensure players can deposit money without any privacy concerns. Multiple online keno games are available, including live dealer keno which streams a live keno draw hosted by a real human croupier direct to your computer screen so you can watch the results unfold before your eyes.
Note playing keno online won’t offer the same bonus games found in Queensland based keno games as outlined above, but each online variant may offer its own bonus features.
