Closing Time — Last Ball ×4 Keno (Free Online)
Closing Time is classic 80-number keno with one twist: the 20th and final ball. Pick anywhere from 1 to 10 numbers, place your bet, and watch 20 balls drawn one by one. If the last ball drawn lands on one of your numbers, your entire win for that round is paid ×4. It plays instantly in any browser, no signup and no download.
How the Last Ball ×4 Works
- The draw is normal keno: 20 balls come out of 80, and every ball that matches one of your numbers is highlighted as a hit.
- Last call: just before the 20th ball, the board holds for a beat. That final ball is the whole point of the machine.
- Ball 20 on your number: it counts as a hit like any other, and on top of that the full payout for the round is multiplied by four.
- Nothing to multiply: if the round would not have paid anything, the ×4 does nothing — it only ever multiplies a winning round.
- Everything else is unchanged: bet sizes, Quick Pick, Auto Bet and your credit balance work exactly as on Classic Keno, and the balance is shared between the two.
How to Play Closing Time
- Pick your numbers: tap up to 10 numbers on the 80-cell board, or press Quick Pick to let the game choose 10 for you.
- Set your bet: use the bet controls to choose how much to wager per round.
- Press Bet: 20 balls are drawn. Hits light up as they land.
- Watch the 20th ball: the band in the middle of the board flips to 20th ball… and then shows whether the last ball hit. A ×4 badge marks the ball that quadrupled your win.
- Collect and go again: winnings are added to your balance automatically. Keep your numbers, change them, or switch on Auto Bet.
Closing Time Paytable
The ×4 is paid out of the same prize pool, so the base multipliers are lower than on Classic Keno and a last-ball win pays four times the listed amount. The table shows the base top payout for each pick count and what it becomes when the 20th ball is yours; the in-game Paytable button lists every hit level.
| Numbers Picked | Pays From | Top Hit | Base Top Payout | With Last Ball ×4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pick 1 | 1 hit | 1 of 1 | 3.27x | 13.08x |
| Pick 2 | 1 hit | 2 of 2 | 10.25x | 41x |
| Pick 3 | 1 hit | 3 of 3 | 34.8x | 139.2x |
| Pick 4 | 2 hits | 4 of 4 | 102x | 408x |
| Pick 5 | 2 hits | 5 of 5 | 449x | 1,796x |
| Pick 6 | 2 hits | 6 of 6 | 965x | 3,860x |
| Pick 7 | 3 hits | 7 of 7 | 2,600x | 10,400x |
| Pick 8 | 3 hits | 8 of 8 | 5,500x | 22,000x |
| Pick 9 | 4 hits | 9 of 9 | 15,750x | 63,000x |
| Pick 10 | 4 hits | 10 of 10 | 25,550x | 102,200x |
Note: The paytable is tuned to a return to player of roughly 94% across all pick counts — the same target as Classic Keno. The last-ball multiplier is already priced in, so Closing Time is not a better or worse deal than the classic game, just a swingier one.
How Often Does the Last Ball Hit?
The 20th ball is as likely to be any of the 20 drawn as the first, so the chance that it lands on one of your numbers is simply your pick count divided by 80. Pick 4 numbers and it happens in about 5% of rounds; pick 8 and it is 10%; pick all 10 and it is 12.5%. Because the ×4 only multiplies a round that already pays, it works as a bonus on top of a win rather than a separate prize — on a 10-pick card roughly one round in twenty pays ×4.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Closing Time free to play?
Yes. Closing Time uses virtual credits only. There is no real money, no deposit and no cash prize. Your credit balance is shared with the other games on this site and saved in your browser.
What happens if the last ball is mine but I have no winning hits?
Nothing is multiplied. The ×4 applies to the payout of the round, so a round that pays 0 still pays 0. The 20th ball is still marked on the board so you can see it was yours.
Does the ×4 apply during Auto Bet?
Yes. Every round is drawn the same way, so the last-ball pause and the ×4 happen in Auto Bet rounds exactly as in manual rounds.
Why are the payouts lower than on Classic Keno?
Both games are tuned to roughly the same return to player. On Closing Time part of that return is paid through the ×4, so the base multipliers have to be lower — a 10-of-10 pays 25,550x instead of 50,000x, but 102,200x when the 20th ball is one of yours.
