There are also more than 2000 venues in New South Wales and Victoria that benefit from the company’s games as well. They are the largest operator of any lottery game throughout Australia.
Understanding the game of keno is relatively easy. It is based upon a game of chance. Players can choose anywhere between three and 10 numbers and the more numbers they match, the more they are able to win.
The government recently announced that the Keno license would be extended through 2047. It was going to expire in 2022 and it was extended by 25 years in exchange for a payment of $20 million from the company.
The payment has been made to the government and documentation is now in place.
The Keno license extension allows for long term certainty within the operations of Tabcorp in Queensland. It allows the company to invest in the state and provide more games than ever before.
Anyone who has played the lottery in Queensland at a resort or casino has likely encountered what Tabcorp has to offer. The company has done well within the government regulations and continues to offer unique games to entice players.
Keno is one of the simpler games that are offered around Australia. It was traditionally played in casinos and entire rooms were dedicated to Keno. It is similar to bingo, however it is entirely automated. It also allows players to choose their own numbers.
Since the license has been extended in Queensland, there will be no other companies offering Keno in the region. It is reported that the government did not even look at any other companies simply because they were satisfied with the services provided by Tabcorp. When the company offered a $20 million payment, it also helped to secure the deal.
Anyone who is interested in playing Keno will be able to find a location easily in the area. They can wager as little as one dollar in order to win a significant amount of money.
