When there are a first predetermined number of matches between the additional bonus numbers and the random twenty numbers the player is awarded a bonus, and the type is bonus is identified by a selection made by the player. The type of bonus is printed out on a bonus ticket that is dispensed to the player. In a subsequent round of Keno game play a player is prompted to insert certain types of bonus ticket if there is a second predetermined number of matches between the additional bonus numbers and the twenty random numbers the player is prompted to insert into the Keno game machine types of bonus tickets that they hold.
