Atlantic Canada - Keno Atlantic

Keno Atlantic

Keno Atlantic is played in Canada’s Atlantic provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

Keno Atlantic is a daily draw game that takes place each evening at 22:30 local time.

Players can choose to wager CAD 1.00, CAD 2.00, CAD 5.00 or CAD 10.00 per play, with wagers of more than CAD 1.00 being multiplied by the respective amount, e.g., with a winning CAD 2.00 entry receiving double the amount.

First choose how many Spots (numbers) from 2 to 10 to match, with the number chosen having no bearing on the cost of entry, although the odds of winning and subsequent payout differ wildly.

Players then choose Spots from a range of numbers between 1 and 70, or go for an Insta Pik for randomly generated numbers.

Also, players can enter the TAG game for a chance to win a CAD 100,000 jackpot, receiving a randomly generated six-digit number that needs to be matched, with secondary prizes also being available.

Advance Play lets players enter up to 10 draws at a time, or take out a subscription to never miss a draw.

Jackpot

Keno Atlantic has a maximum potential jackpot of CAD 2.5 million.

Prize payouts are based on how much is wagered, with players who place a CAD 1.00 wager and matching 10 Spots winning CAD 250,000, while players who wager CAD 10.00 and also match 10 Spots, winning the maximum possible CAD 2.5 million.

This system is used for all prize tiers, with higher payouts the more you wager.
