Power Keno does exactly what it says on the tin. Pick your numbers, watch 20 balls drop from a field of 80, count your hits. The IGT spin on the classic keno format is one rule added on top: if the very last ball drawn lands on one of your marked spots, your total win is multiplied by 4. That’s it. No free spins, no cascades, no bonus rounds. Just a clean number-picking game with a single well-placed twist that keeps every draw interesting right to the end. If you’ve been looking for something genuinely different from the usual slot lobby fare, the Power Keno demo is worth a look.
Before each draw, you mark between 2 and 10 spots on a grid of 80 numbered positions. You can select manually by clicking individual numbers, use Quick Pick for a random selection, or clear your choices and start over with Erase. Your marked spots carry over between rounds unless you change them, so there’s no need to reselect every time.
Once you press Start, 20 numbers are drawn in sequence. Each drawn number that matches one of your marked spots counts as a hit. Wins are determined by how many spots you marked and how many of those were hit. Marking more spots doesn’t guarantee more hits. The more spots you choose, the more hits you need to reach the winning combinations, but the potential payouts scale up accordingly.
This is the game’s defining rule. If the 20th and final ball drawn lands on one of your marked spots, your total win for that round is multiplied by 4. It doesn’t affect non-winning rounds; there has to be a win for the multiplier to apply. The result is that every draw holds attention until the very last ball. You can be watching an otherwise average round suddenly turn into something more significant if that final number cooperates.
Power Keno runs on a single screen showing the full 80-number grid. Adjust your bet using the Bet Up and Bet Down controls; the minimum stake is $1.00 per round. Mark your chosen spots, then press Start. A Speed button lets you accelerate the draw if you'd rather not watch every ball land individually. Autoplay is not available, so each round requires a manual Start press.
The RTP for this game ranges from 92.34% to 93.44% depending on how many spots you choose to mark. That's on the lower end compared to most video slots, worth knowing before committing to extended sessions. The maximum win on any single transaction is capped at 300,000 credits.
Wins below are shown per $1.00 bet. The Power Pay 4x multiplier applies to any of these values if the last ball drawn is a hit.

We were lucky and got 7 hits to scoop a decent-sized win in our demo play, but your luck could easily vary considering the mediocre RTP.
Power Keno is a stripped-down numbers game dressed in IGT's no-nonsense house style. The graphics are functional rather than polished, the sound design is minimal, and there's no bonus round, no feature ladder, nothing to unlock. What it does have is an unusually clean gameplay loop and one genuinely clever rule: that last-ball multiplier. Holding out for that final draw, even on a session where very little has landed, is oddly compelling. It won't suit players who want stimulus between outcomes, but as a pure probability game with a bit of tension baked in, it works. Score: 2/5.
Load up the Power Keno demo, and the first impression is that you’ve stepped back in time. The green felt background, the chunky numbered grid, the basic sound effects when balls drop — it all has the feel of something built for a land-based casino floor and ported across without much cosmetic updating. That’s not a criticism of the game logic, just an honest description of what you’re looking at. If old-school presentation is a dealbreaker, this review ends here.
For those who stay, the gameplay itself is more satisfying than the visuals suggest; you can’t help but stare at the hit counter as the balls are called!
Picking your spots, watching the balls drop one by one, tracking how many of your numbers have hit; there’s a rhythm to it that pure slot spinning doesn’t replicate.
The infrequency of meaningful wins is real. Sessions can go long stretches with minimal return, especially at lower spot counts where the hit requirements are tighter relative to the payout structure. But when a round does connect, particularly one where multiple spots hit and the last ball lands on your number for the 4x multiplier, the payoff feels proportional to the wait.
The biggest honest limitation here is the RTP range. At 92.34%–93.44%, this sits noticeably below most licensed slot games, which typically run at 94%–97%.
For free play exploration, it’s irrelevant; the demo is a perfectly valid way to learn the game’s pacing and spot selection strategy. For anyone thinking about extended real-money sessions, the theoretical return is worth factoring in before committing. You know what our decision would be!
