The Popular Game That's Easy to Play!

Keno is a low risk, high yield bingo-like casino game that dates back to China's Han Dynasty (187 BC). It's a remarkably popular game that often results in players earning a generous return on a small bet if luck is on their side. It can be as simple as betting $1 per game or you can play combination tickets.

Visit our Keno Lounge and enjoy the fun and highly social element of the game, or play in the Caravan Cafe while you dine. You can also watch live casino keno games on your hotel room television as the games are being played.

There are several different keno games to choose from: Casino, Speed, and the Caravan Cafe game. Our friendly keno runners are generally available in the Caravan Cafe, but you can also purchase tickets in the Keno Lounge. Just tell the keno writer you'd like tickets for the Caravan Cafe game. Multi-tickets play for 31 games or more at $1 per game, or $1 per way will receive a 10 percent bonus on all pays.

  2. We pay on the computer-generated ticket; the numbers and conditions registered on the computer-generated ticket shall govern any payoffs due.
  3. Any errors on the computer-generated ticket must be corrected prior to the start of each keno game, or any error will remain as the valid wager and shall govern any payoffs due. For your protection, please check your tickets for errors.
  4. Keno runners are available for your convenience. Tickets carried by runners are not valid until accepted at the keno counter. Keno runners are instructed not to wait for customers who are not ready for the current game. We are not responsible if tickets are turned in too late for the current game.
