Abstract

A method of playing Keno in which the quantity of numbers drawn is increased by including the integer above and/or below each number drawn, for at least some of the numbers drawn. This effectively increases the quantity of numbers drawn without requiring any additional steps by the players or modification of ball drawing equipment. For example, after drawing 20 numbers, the respective integer above each of the first 5 drawn numbers can be included in the draw. Optionally these extra numbers can be treated differently from those drawn, for example by applying to an additional bonus wager.
