What Is QQKeno?
QQKeno is an online keno variant designed for faster, more frequent gameplay. Available on platforms like BK8, it maintains the core keno mechanics while adding features tailored for digital play.
The name "QQ" comes from Chinese internet slang/branding and doesn't indicate different mechanics—it's essentially branded fast keno.
How QQKeno Works
- Select your numbers: Typically 1-8 numbers from a pool of 80
- Choose your bet type: Standard, Over/Under, Odd/Even, etc.
- Place your stake
- Watch the draw: 20 numbers drawn (usually animated)
- Collect winnings: Based on matches and bet type
Draws occur every few minutes (some versions every 60-90 seconds), making QQKeno much faster than traditional lottery-style keno.
Bet Types
QQKeno offers multiple betting options:
Standard Number Bets
- Pick 1-8 numbers and win based on matches
- More matches = higher payout multiplier
- Works like traditional keno
Side Bets
- Over/Under: Bet on total sum of drawn numbers
- Odd/Even: Bet on majority of drawn numbers being odd or even
- Gold/Wood/Water/Fire/Metal: Chinese element-themed number groups
Combination Bets
Some versions allow combining multiple bet types in a single round.
QQKeno vs Traditional Keno
| Feature | QQKeno | Traditional Keno |
|---|---|---|
| Draw Frequency | Every 1-5 minutes | Every 5-15 minutes |
| Number Pool | 80 numbers | 80 numbers |
| Numbers Drawn | 20 | 20 |
| Max Spots | Usually 8 | Usually 10-15 |
| Side Bets | Yes (various) | Limited or none |
| RTP | ~95-97% | ~70-80% |
Key Advantage: Online QQKeno typically offers significantly better RTP
(95-97%) compared to traditional casino/parlor keno (70-80%). The math favors online versions.
RTP and Odds
QQKeno's RTP varies by bet type:
- Number bets: Typically 95-97% RTP
- Side bets: Vary by type (check paytable)
- House edge: 3-5% (much better than traditional keno)
The core probability mathematics are identical to standard keno—20 numbers drawn from 80 with independent random selection each round.
Speed = More Action
While QQKeno offers better RTP per round, the speed means you can play many more rounds per hour. Total expected loss = house edge × total amount wagered.
Playing 60 rounds per hour at RM5 with 5% house edge: 60 × RM5 × 0.05 = RM15 expected loss per hour
Responsible Play
Fast-paced games require extra caution:
- Set time limits: The rapid draws can be hypnotic
- Set bet limits: Small bets add up quickly over many rounds
- Take breaks: Step away between sessions
- Track your spending: Fast games make it easy to lose track
