Pirate's Island Keno

Pirate's Island Keno review

Pirate's Island Keno swaps reels for a treasure map: it is a keno game in which you mark your numbers on an 80-number board and watch 20 balls decide how much of the pirates' gold you take home. GameMediaWorks lists it with a 97% RTP, which is higher than most video slots, and medium volatility. You choose anywhere from 1 to 10 numbers, or let Quick Pick do it, and the payout table on screen changes with every number you add, showing exactly what each count of hits pays. On top of the standard draw, the game offers a Bonus Balls feature with extra balls.

Pirate's Island Keno is for players who want something calmer than a slot, with a return that is easy to like: 97% is above the 96% most slots offer. Picking fewer numbers makes hits more likely but smaller, while ten picks aim for the top of the table. Medium volatility keeps results from swinging too far either way.
