HOW TO PLAY
HOW TO PLAY
1 Decide how many games to play. Write down the
number of consecutive games you want to play where
indicated. See Multi-Race Keno for details.
2 Select your numbers. “X” over your choice of
numbers on the top and/or bottom of your ticket.
You can mark 1-15 numbers.
3 Make your wager. Write the dollar amount of your
wager on the top right of your ticket where indicated.
The more you wager, the
more you can win! See the
pay chart in this brochure for
the wager/winning ratios.
Minimum bet is $2.
4 Count your numbers.
Write down the number of
spots you picked and the
wager in the box indicated
on top (conditioning).
5 Pick your pay rate. Unless
you write “S” for special rate, your ticket will be paid at
the regular pay rate.
6 Present your ticket. Bring your ticket and wager to the
Keno counter.
7 Check your ticket. When you receive your processed
ticket back from the Writer, it is your responsibility to check
your ticket to ensure it has been properly marked before
the game starts.
8 Watch the Keno Boards. Keno boards are located
throughout the casino. Twenty numbers are drawn at
random for each game and then illuminated on the Keno
board. When the game is over, the last number drawn
will flash continuously to indicate the game is over.
9 Check your numbers. If you have matching numbers,
refer to the pay rates in this brochure to see if you win.
Keno Writers will be happy to assist you in checking
your ticket. The Keno computer checks all tickets quickly
and accurately.
10 Collect your winnings. All winnings will be confirmed
and paid out by our Keno Writers.
Need a little more help?
Our Keno Staff is here to serve you, so don’t hesitate
to ask if you have questions.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR TICKET! Errors must be
corrected before the start of the next game. The numbers and
conditioning registered in the Keno computer shall govern.
We are not responsible for Writer errors. We are not
responsible if requests are turned in too late for the
current game.
Yellow Brick Road Casino is not responsible if tickets are
presented too late to be written for the current game or
for tickets that are mis-marked.
If you are playing “Special” Keno, please check your
tickets before you leave the counter to see they are marked
with an “S.” Winning tickets not marked with an “S” will
be paid as a “Regular” rate.
IRS requires a W2-G Form to be filed on all net Keno
winnings of $1,500 or more. You will be required to provide
two forms of identification such as a Driver’s License and
your Social Security card. If proper identification is not
available, Federal Taxes will be withheld from the gross
winning at the current rate.
All non-resident aliens winning a reportable amount are
subject to a 30% withholding tax. We are required to
deduct such amount from your winnings before payment.
Maximum aggregate payout to all players participating in
each game is $100,000. When total win of all winning
tickets of $5,000 or more in one game exceeds the
maximum aggregate payoff of $100,000, the winnings for
all these tickets will be pro-rated as percentage of their total
game win. All winning tickets valued at less than $5,000
each will be paid according to Keno Payout Brochure.
MULTI-GAME
PAY RATES
IF YOU DON’T LIKE STANDING IN LINE EVERY
GAME, MISSING GAMES YOU THOUGHT YOU
PLAYED, OR INTERRUPTING YOUR MEAL TO
REPLAY YOUR TICKET...THEN MULTI-RACE
KENO IS THE GAME FOR YOU! HERE’S HOW...

®
Instead of marking separate tickets for each game, you
can play your favorite numbers for TWO to 999 Keno
games on just a SINGLE TICKET and with just ONE visit to
the Keno counter!
Play 1-20 games. For multi-race tickets you must play the
same ticket on each game. A winning ticket cannot be
redeemed prior to the completion of its series. On all winning
tickets you have up to 30 days after your final game to collect.
Keno to go (21-999). Now you may play from 21 to 999 games
of Multi-Race Keno and have up to one year after your last
game to collect. You need not be present during the calling
of games. A 999 game ticket plays for about five days.
If you have a favorite ticket, Multi-Race Keno will soon
become your favorite way to play.
You can play your favorite ticket right before you go home.
Your winnings will be waiting for you when you return on
your next visit, or for results of Multi-Race tickets you can
call 800.771.7711 and ask for the Keno Department.
Play $2 minimum or more. The more you wager, the
more you can win. When playing 5 games or more, play
$1 per game and it will pay on half the $2 wager.
Special Keno
Play your favorite numbers and win even bigger. With
Special Keno, your ticket winnings will be based on a
different pay scale. You’ll need to catch more numbers
to win, but when you do, you’ll win BIGGER! To play

SPECIAL GAMES
$3 CATCH-ALL TICKET
Pick 3, 4, 5 or 6 numbers and then mark your ticket with
“CA” on top for Catch-All. To win, every number you
choose must be drawn in the next game. In other words,
you must Catch All numbers on your ticket. GOOD LUCK!
$2 TOP & BOTTOM
First, mark your ticket with a “T” on the upper half and “B”
on the bottom half, as shown, and place your wager. The
game is based on the spread of 20 numbers drawn in the
game that fall in the top (”T”) portion of the ticket and the
bottom (”B”) portion of the ticket. After all 20 numbers
are called, count how many appear on the bottom. You
now have the “catch.” When the catch matches any listed
in the pay-off chart, you win!

KENO HISTORY
According to an ancient scroll,
Cheung Leung introduced the game
we now call Keno about 200 years
B.C. in China. Cheung’s city was at war
for several years and supplies for his
army were failing.
The people of his city refused to
contribute any more to the war fund,
so Cheung created a game of chance
to produce revenue to provision his
army. The game was an instant success
and the city was saved.
Spreading throughout China, the game
was used to help fund the building of the
“Great Wall.” The game became known
as the “White Pigeon Game” because
carrier pigeons used to send the results
(winning numbers) from the games in the
larger cities to small villages and hamlets.
Remaining basically the same, the game
was brought to the United States by
Chinese immigrants who labored on the
railroads in the “Old West.”
