About Club Keno

Club Keno commenced pilot operations
on Friday, 13 September 1991 in 13 clubs located in the Newcastle
district. Despite its Black Friday beginning, the game proved a popular
success and was officially launched on November 22, 1991 at the Penrith
Rugby League Club.

Today, there are more than 930 registered clubs in New South Wales
participating in the Club Keno network, making Club Keno the world's
largest club-based Keno game.

Club Keno's continued success is based on its appeal as an inexpensive and instant
gaming opportunity with good returns. The game represents an important
part of an entire range of entertainment options offered by clubs. The
evolution of new products, prizes, and promotions is one strategy Club
Keno will continue to utilise to ensure the game's success into the new
millennium and beyond.
