Land casinos generally pay back about 70 to 75 cents on the dollar in keno, but the returns at online casinos can vary substantially between different software providers. What does that mean? Choose carefully where you play.
Microgaming, Cryptologic, Boss Media, and Unified Gaming are the four largest brands of online casino software manufacturers to offer a keno game, but there is a 30% difference between the highest and lowest pay back. Here’s the breakdown on who pays what.
The best online keno offered is Microgaming’s pick 13, with a return of 96.54%. The worst, on the other hand, is Boss Media’s pick 4 with a return of 67.39%.
Overall, pay backs for Microgaming and Unified Gaming are very close, with returns ranging from 92.09% to 96.54%, except for the pick 1 which always pays 3:1 for a return of 75%.
Cryptologic and Boss Media fall far behind these two, however, with returns ranging from a low of 67.39% to a high of 73.79%, again not counting the pick 1.
The following table shows the return for all four brands, according to the number of picks.

$176k Winner at InterCasino
A- InterCasino, the world’s largest Internet casino, announced today that a Mega Agen Joker123 Jackpot of $176,688 was hit on in its Progressive Caribbean Poker game.
The jackpot had been steadily building and was finally hit on May 26th. InterCasino’s Progressive Caribbean Poker jackpot has become one of the largest in online gaming history.
The winner, ‘moosed’ from Hawaii, was having a quiet game of Caribbean Poker at InterCasino before breakfast on Saturday morning when the once-in-a-lifetime event happened — a Royal Flush. He looked at the progressive jackpot tabletop counter and saw that he had just won $176,688.
‘Moosed’ still sounded shocked when casino manager Ryan Hartley phoned him two hours after his win to congratulate him. An InterCasino player since 1996, ‘moosed’ is the second player since March to scoop the biggest and best progressive jackpot on the net.
InterCasino’s Caribbean Poker includes a wide screen with 3D graphics and animations, and a multi-player Progressive Jackpot that starts at an incredible $100,000 and grows with every bet. Players don’t even need a Royal Flush to get the taste of a big win. A straight flush gives players 10% of the jackpot, which is at least $15,000. Lower combinations also pay out handsomely — as a $1 bonus bet brings $1,000 on Four of a Kind, $100 on a Full House and $50 on a Flush.
Every player can be a winner at InterCasino. Throughout June, all players who make a single deposit of $50 or more will be automatically credited with an additional $50 as a free bonus.
InterCasino is the most popular and prompt-paying casino on the Internet. With a 97.5% payout rate, they have been the industry leader since the inception of online gaming in 1995. InterCasino offers 35 casino games including: Multi Player Blackjack, Caribbean Poker, Let it Ride Poker, Craps, Roulette, Triple Olives Jackpot Slots, Super Jackpot Video Poker, Keno, Baccarat, Double Bonus Poker, Flower Pot Slots, Red Dog, and many other common casino games.
