Keno Empire

Keno Empire's most distinctive feature is its contests. Each has a public results page with its dates, its prize ladder and its final leaderboard, so we read every contest page in the range we had seen and counted.

How we counted

• What: Every public Keno Empire contest results page from contest number 795 to 945. We recorded each contest's name, start and end time, prizes and number of players. We did not record player names.
• When: Contests that started between 11 June and 4 October 2026.
• How many: 97 contests. The other numbers in the range had no public page.
• Limits: The player count is the number on the final leaderboard. We did not play in the contests ourselves.

What we found

• About 5 or 6 a week: 97 contests in under four months, sometimes several running at once.
• 24 hours, starting at 2:00 PM UTC: 90 of the 97 ran for 24 hours, and 91 started at 2:00 PM UTC, which is 10:00 AM US Eastern in summer.
• A median of 131 players: Between 14 and 200 players per contest.
• About 1 in 13 wins a prize: Most contests paid 10 prizes. The top prize had a median of 120,000 coins, between 50,000 and 200,000.
• Regulars: Tuesday Mania ran 18 times and the Friday Leaderboard Contest 8 times, alongside pattern contests and one-off themes.

Keno Empire's own rules say you are entered automatically, with no entry needed unless a contest says otherwise; each player can win only one prize per contest; and a tie gives both players the higher prize.

Keno Empire is a free keno game from Childhood Friends Inc., played since 2016 on Facebook, in a web browser at kenoempire.com and on phones. You pick numbers on a board of 80, the game draws, and matching numbers pay coins. The coins have no cash value.

Instead of slot machines it has keno variants, each with its own bonus: Fortune, Hitman, Double Up, Caveman and Cleopatra Keno, and Powerball bonuses. Variants also differ by how many numbers you pick, from 4 spot up to 10 spot.

Keno Empire posts free coin links on its Facebook page. They open the game on its own kenoempire.com address, and each carries its own token. From 1 July to 30 September 2026 we found 161 gift links, about 1.75 a day, on 76 of the 92 days and never more than 5 in a day.

The links carry no coin amount. Today's links are on our Keno Empire free coins page, newest first.

From Keno Empire's official FAQ:

• XP: Every game earns XP: 1 for a loss, 5 for a win, and 10 to 15 for bonus wins such as Caveman eggs or Hitman targets.
• Badges: Prizes at set levels, from 1,000 coins at level 100 (Amethyst) up to 5 million coins at level 1,400 (Red Crown).
• Piggy Bank Coins: Earned from some coin purchases, promotions and giveaways. Once you have 50,000 or more you can redeem them for regular coins, with a 20% bonus at 50,000 rising to 50% at 500,000 or more. The bank holds up to 2 million.

Keno Empire allows one account per person and one device at a time; multiple Facebook accounts and simultaneous sessions are not allowed, and unfair play can get contest entries disqualified. Chat is removed automatically after five community reports in 24 hours.

Not with real money. Coins have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn, even though the board shows a dollar sign. The App Store rates it 17+.

Coin packages are sold in the Coin Store. Everything on this page, including the contests, can be done without spending.

If Keno Empire isn't quite right for you, these are the closest games we cover:

• Bingo Blitz: Playtika's bingo game, with the same draw-and-match rhythm and its own free credit links.
• Bingo Bash: Another free bingo app with its own reward links.

Both are free to play with optional purchases, and neither pays out real money.
