If the dealer qualifies with an Ace/King or higher and his/her hand is higher than the player's hand, the player loses both wagers on the ante and the bet.

The Keno game is played with a traditional 80-numbered ticket and 20 balls whose function is the same as in a standard lottery. The player marks from 1 to 10 spots on the ticket and is paid according to the numbers that roll out on the balls and the bet he or she chose. The four different ways to bet on a Keno ticket are discussed below. After each game you may choose to stay with the same spots you played (by clicking on PLAY button again) or pick new spots on the ticket. The Payoff tables update on the left of the game card.

This option lets you bet that the numbers you choose will not be drawn. You can select between 8 and 15 numbers. You will win only if none of the numbers selected show up.
'Straight Bet'
This option lets you select between 2 and 10 numbers. The more selected numbers are drawn, the bigger the payoff.

Casino Information: Descriptions of Hand Ranks (combinations)
| Flush Royal |
5 cards of the same suit in order: T-J-Q-K-A (10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace). A Flush-Royal is the highest possible hand. |
| Five of a Kind |
This is four cards of the same rank and joker. |
| Straight Flush |
A straight flush is a straight set of any cards (5 cards in order, such as 5-6-7-8-9) that are all of the same suit. Another possible combination is A-2-3-4-5 (an Ace is considered to be the card with the lowest value). |
| Four of a Kind |
This is simply four cards of the same rank (for example: 2-2-2-2; Q-Q-Q-Q). |
| Full House |
A full house is a three of a kind and a pair, such as 2-2-2-K-K. Ties are broken first by the three of a kind, then the pair. So K-K-K-2-2 beats Q-Q-Q-A-A, which beats Q-Q-Q-J-J. |
| Flush |
A flush is a hand where all of the cards have the same suit, such as 2-4-5-J-A, all of spades. |
| Straight |
A straight is 5 cards of any suit in order, such as 4-5-6-7-8. An ace may either be high (A-K-Q-J-10) or low (5-4-3-2-A). |
| Three of a Kind |
Three cards of any rank, matched with two cards that are not a pair (otherwise it would be a Full House). Again, highest three of a kind wins. |
| Pair |
One pair with three distinct cards. High card breaks ties. |
| Ace-King |
This is the lowest possible hand to start the game with. |
The payoffs could be seen directly within the game, in the payoff table.
Casino Information: Game Fairness
Casino Information: How does Casino verify the odds of winning?
The Casino software uses a random number generator to generate the sequence of numbers corresponding to card types, rolls, bars etc.
These algorithms are tested thoroughly to ensure that they are both unpredictable and evenly distributed thereby ensuring the highest possible level of fairness.
Casino Information: How are your games tested?
Our developers have gone to great lengths to ensure that the software we produce is of the highest quality.
Each game undergoes rigorous testing on the real gaming server to determine whether game rules are obeyed, payouts are calculated correctly etc.
Then, depending on the game, between 1 and 10 million bets are made to test the fairness of the random number generator. If the frequency of winning combinations and general payouts are within expectations, the game is passed to the Quality Assurance team of engineers. They in turn ensure that the game plays to within expected quality levels.
Only when all of these tests are passed is the game made available for use by our players.
Like any other software product, we cannot guarantee a flawless application. We can however guarantee a commitment to solving all major problems encountered in an attempt to create an even better application. If you have experienced any problems with the functioning of our software, or have any concerns in relation to our implementation of games, game rules etc, please do not hesitate to contact our Support Team.
In any invent that an investigation of our game logs reveal an anomaly, our development team will immediately asses and fix the problem.
Casino Information: How do you ensure that your random number generator is fair?
Our developers are particularily mindful of the importance of our random number generator. It represents the heart of our gaming algorithms and consequently every attempt must be made to ensure that it's results are in accordance with practical circumstances.
Contrary to popular belief, Casino will not benefit from a biased random number generator. If our algorithms produced biased results it may be possible for a player to use this in his favor to predict outcomes. It is therefore in our best interest to ensure that this never happens.
We currently test our random generator on a sequence of 300,000,000 numbers to verify it's randomness. If our tests are found to be outside theoretical limits, then that generator is discarded.
Casino Information: Connection Problems
I got disconnected in the middle of a game. What do I do?
First... Do not panic ... Just restart the application and log in again. You will be able to resume your game at the exact point you were before.
Be patient as it may take a few minutes for the server to update your files.
