Keno Game Rules​

Rules for Keno Sixty-One Ring Game (For the Gambler)

Goal

Be the first player to reach 61 points to win the game.

Setup:

Each player antes up, placing their stake in the reserve box.​

Rack the balls as you would for a standard game of pool.

How to Play:

  1. Determine the Starting Player:
    • Each player draws a pea from the pill bottle.
    • The player with the highest numbered pea starts the game.
    • Return all peas to the pill bottle after selection.
  2. Break the Balls:
    • The first player breaks by placing the cue ball in the kitchen (behind the headstring), in front of the Keno board.
  3. Scoring:
    • Players aim to land balls on the Keno board shooting from where the cue ball lands.
    • Your score for each shot = ball number + hole number.
    • (Example: If the 6-ball lands in the 10-hole, you score 16 points.)
    • Keep track of your total.
  4. Turn Rotation:
    • Players take turns shooting, accumulating points until someone reaches 61 or more.
Special Rules & Bonuses:

  • Exact Match Bonus:
    • If a player lands a ball in the hole of the same number (e.g., the 2-ball in the 2-hole), everyone pays double the ante.
  • Scratching Penalty:
    • If a player scratches, they must pay double the ante.
  • Ball Movement Rule:
    • If a shot moves an existing ball, the shooter receives credit for its new position, unless:
      • The ball lands in the same hole it started in.
      • The ball falls off the board.
  • Exact 61 Bonus:
    • If a player lands exactly on 61 points, everyone pays double.
  • Instant Win Conditions:
    • A player immediately wins if they land in:
      • The Keno hole.
      • The Double Keno hole (all players pay double).
Winning & Next Round:

  • Once a player reaches 61 points or wins instantly, the game ends.
  • The ante is replenished, and a new round begins.

Never played it/seen it.

We had a couple in the room I grew up in and money changes hands FAST when that board comes out.

I was not a fan of hand rolling onto it though, which eventually happened after I'd shoot 2 or more balls onto the board...again and again!

I preferred regular pool though, definitely.
 
Was popular when I first went to the Carolinas in the early 90's, didn't necessarily need a cue to play.

Strictly a gambling game and usually banned
 
It's been around a long time and is a fun gambling game. Lots of luck, but don't be fooled by the hustlers - there is definitely some skill involved.

We had one in the room I worked in 35 years ago and we have a couple boards in our local pool room now but they aren't in great condition. I'm a woodworker and have thought of making one just for fun. Does anyone know if the number pattern is prescribed/specific/consistent?
 
Id like to build one this information would be helpful..would you share the dimensions of the couple you have as far as size dimensions, thickness and length of approach ramp?

Don't forget to add small shim to the bottom that can be retracted.
A small house advantage just in case your opponent is getting the best of it🤣🤣

The key to the game as shown in the movie is to hit the OB 20mph and have it roll up on the board at 1mph, over and over and over. If it wasn't for the jeans I couldn't have gotten over the magic OBs

I'm afraid to watch it. Most pool movies are completely unwatchable. A ultra niche' keno pool movie ... Maybe I'll have the courage if the jeans are as good as you say🤣
