Introduction

Wild Ball Keno is very similar to the video keno games found in many casinos.  You can select from one-to-ten spots (squares) from the 80 available.  You can also bet from one-to-ten credit per game.

Once you have selected your spots and placed your bet, click on the Start/Repeat button to start the game.  20 of 80 possible balls will fall to the right-hand side of the screen.  When the numbers on the balls match the spots you have selected, those spots will flash.  You can also keep and eye on the top of the Wild Ball Keno window to view your "Hits."  Hits are the number of spots you selected that match the balls.

The more hits you get, the higher the payoff.  When you have selected a large number of spots, you need a larger number of hits to win than when you select a small number of spots.  Look at the Payoffs screen to see the exact payoffs for the various hits-to-spots ratios.

When you quit the game, your credits and selected spots will be saved, so the next time you play Wild Ball Keno, your last game will resume right where you left off.  If you would rather start a new game, select "New Game" from under the "File" menu at the top of the Wild Ball Keno window.


WHAT DOES THE WILD BALL DO
What Does the Wild Ball Do?

The wild ball is wild and will take the place of any spot you have selected that was not hit by the other balls.  The computer will randomly select which of your un-hit spots will be changed to a hit.

If you now have enough hits for a payoff, the wild ball will cause the payoff to be twice the normal amount.


Picking Spots

You can pick from one-to-ten spots per game.  You select spots by clicking on any of the numbered squares.  The selected spots will be highlighted in yellow.  Click on any of the highlighted spots to de-select them.

You must select at least one spot before a game can begin.  If you try to select more than 10 spots, the program will warn you.

To clear (de-select) all your selected spots, click on the "Clear All" button at the bottom-left of the Wild Ball Keno window.


Placing a Bet

To place you bet, click the "Bet 1" or "Bet Max" buttons.  The "Bet 1" button will add one credit to you bet.  The "Bet Max" button will bet 10 credits.  After placing your bet, click the "Start" button to begin the game.

After you have played a game, you can click the "Start" button to continue playing new games with the same bet amount.


Using the Keyboard

For you convenience, you can play the game using the keyboard rather than the mouse.  You do have to select your spots using the mouse, but you can use the keyboard to place bets, clear spots, or to begin the game.

Press the C key to clear all the selected spots.
Press the B key to bet one credit.
Press the M key to bet 10 credits.
Press the [Enter] or [Space] keys to begin the game.


Payoffs

To view the payoffs for Wild Ball Keno, select "Payoffs" from the top of the Wild Ball Keno window.  This will bring-up the payoffs window which displays the payoffs for every hits-to-spots ratio.

The payoffs on this window are based on only one credit being bet.  So if you bet more than one credit, you can multiply the payoffs listed by the number of credits you are betting.

If you get a wild ball, the payoff (if any) will be twice the normal amount.

Example:

If you are betting 10 credits per game, your payoffs will be 10 times the listed payoffs.  So if you select 10 spots and get 10 hits with 10 credits bet, the payoff would be 50,000 credits rather than the 5,000 listed.  However, if one of your hits was caused by a wild ball, then the payoff will be doubled.


Borrowing Credits

You can borrow as many credits as you like by selecting "Borrow Credits" from the top of the Wild Ball Keno window.  This will allow you to borrow in increments of 1000, 100, 10 or 1 credit.  The game will track how many credits are borrowed, and you can see the total credits borrowed verses won by selecting "Winnings" from the top of the Wild Ball Keno window.

The 1000 credits that you start a new game with are considered borrowed.


Winnings

To see how many credits you have won (or lost), select "Winnings" from the top of the Wild Ball Keno window.  Because you are able to borrow credits, it is easy to lose count of how many of your current credits are won verses borrowed.

The 1000 credits that you start a new game with are borrowed.
