Firefly Keno
On the best nights in July the bay fills with fireflies, blinking on and off above the reeds. Firefly Keno puts eighty of them on the board. Choose your numbers, press Draw 20, and watch which ones light up.
How to play
Tap between one and ten numbers on the board, or press Quick pick to let the game choose six for you. Choose a stake of 5, 10, 25 or 50 Cabin Coins, then press Draw 20.
Twenty numbers out of eighty are drawn one at a time. Each drawn number glows like a firefly, and any of your picks that come up shine brighter still. Press Clear to start a new set of numbers, or keep the same ones for the next draw.
Reading the pay table
The table beside the board changes with the number of picks you've made. It shows how many matches pay and what each one is worth, as a multiple of your stake. With one pick, a single match pays three times the stake. With more picks you need more matches to collect, but the top lines climb much higher. When the draw ends, the line you landed is highlighted.
With ten picks there's a quirk worth knowing: if none of your ten numbers is drawn at all, that pays twice your stake.
Field notes
Counting fireflies
Fireflies flash to find each other, each kind with its own rhythm, and on a still night over the water you can almost follow the conversation. Counting them is an old cottage pastime, usually done from the end of the dock with a blanket around your shoulders and the campfire ticking down behind you. Firefly Keno is the same idea, only easier to keep count: eighty on the board, twenty that glow, and nothing to do but watch.
Porch questions
Questions about the draw
How many numbers should I pick?
Anywhere from one to ten. Fewer picks are easier to match, while more picks need more matches but have bigger lines on the table. There is no right answer, only what you enjoy watching.
Are some numbers luckier than others?
No. Every draw is random, and each of the eighty numbers has the same chance every time. Past draws have no effect on the next one.
Can I keep my numbers between draws?
Yes. Your picks stay on the board after each draw until you change them or press Clear.
