  • Publication number: 20230306822
    Abstract: A bonus round of a video keno game may consist of a series of bonus game instances. During a bonus game instance, a game controller may identify a set of bonus game pieces and select a set of bonus outcome identifiers from a bonus outcome pool. A win amount may be determined based on the number of matches between the set of bonus outcome identifiers and the set of bonus game pieces. The bonus outcome identifiers may include persistent identifiers and non-persistent identifiers. Persistent identifiers may be removed from the bonus outcome pool for subsequent bonus game instances in the series. Additionally or alternatively, the bonus game pieces corresponding to the persistent identifiers may continue to be matches for the subsequent bonus game instances in the series.

  • Publication number: 20230130615
    Abstract: A computer-based video keno game displays a keno game including a set of game pieces of a game board of the keno game, each respective game piece of the game board corresponding to a respective number. A user interface may receive a player input for the keno game, where the player input specifies a set of selected game pieces including a set of special game pieces. A game controller may select a set of numbers from a pool of numbers and determine an amount of matches between the set of selected numbers and the set of selected game pieces. If the last selected number matches a special game piece, a number of free games may be multiplied by a multiplier.
