Tutan Keno

Tutankhamun was quite the man. The definitive pharaoh. There may have been ones before and after, including that New Kingdom period, but really, he’s the first name we think of. Even now in the British Museum, his mark is still the more popular than anything else. And that’s thanks to the discovery of his tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter and his group.

What the discovery revealed was just how intricate and carefully prepared the tomb was. Lavish and well-designed too. So no surprise any game using its name would have to be well thought out too. However, rather than make a standard slot game, the free Tutan Keno game by Keno has decided, like the name suggests, to base it on the popular 80 number game. There’s nothing to be pharaoh full of. Just prizes to be won.

No Rootin’ Tutan Explosions here

You’ll know everything has been stripped down as soon as you see the introductory page. The screen is black. The only bits of colour are the name of the game in yellow, as well as buttons for the sound (though there isn’t any before you start the game) and rules. You can’t move on until you click play. This minimalist style stays when you get to the main screen.

The main colour is brown, with hieroglyphics on the wall behind. In front of that is the name of the game at the top in small golden letters, a parchment for numbers to go up and the betting buttons at the bottom. But what stands out is the grid with 80 numbers. Going in lines of 8, 1-10 from left to right, they may not have any pictures but you won’t be able to take your eyes off them.

Keno Win it All?

This isn’t your conventional slot game, so there won’t be your standard gameplay. Free Tutan Keno game has no reels, no paylines, or paytables. There’s no Free Spins, Multipliers or any type of Wildcard symbol either. As keno is such a popular game, Tutan Keno doesn’t talk down to the player. There are rules for how to play but they are described in short, simple terms. After all, most casinos have it, and some lotteries use the system too. This is the standard set. Of the 80 numbers you get to choose up to 20.

Here, you can bet between 0.10 and 20, with 11 options inbetween. Clicking on the orange ‘x’ presents the 80 numbers with nothing on them. If you click the ‘?’, rather than more information, it gives randomly chosen numbers. Once you press Play, the blue scarab goes to different numbers, depending on how many you’ve chosen. They turn red. The numbers you chose stay in blue unless matched. If any do match they become gold and their number stands out. On the scroll on the right, the number you’ve matched is the number up on the list. So if you get 3, you’ll be 3 numbers up. If you play on maximum, you can win up to 10,000 credits.

Other Games Pharaoh Us All to See

While the online Tutan Keno is a keno game, there’s plenty of representation in the online slot world. In Pharaoh King the visuals, tone and playing style are completely different. Rather than dark and hidden, this is a bright and colourful 5-reel 20-reel slot game. You can bet between 1 and 5 per line and a maximum bet of 100 credits. There is a Wildcard symbol, a Scatter symbol (worth 10,000 credits) and a Progressive Jackpot. Though the paytable is all on one page, it’s well organised and very easy to see what everything is worth. There is no fast play or Autoplay on this medium variance game though.

To compare Tutankhamun to Tutan Kano is full of even more differences. You can play for any number of paylines between 1 and 20 and Stake Per Line between 0.01 and 5.0. The Autoplay has choices for number (10, 25, 50 and 100), a limit of win and if you want to stop for the bonus. There’s also a 96.28 RTP, Free Spins and Multipliers. There's no download needed on either game, and you can play the free slot version or for real money.

Tutan Conclusion

There are some great reasons to play keno. You can win big for small amounts. There is no great amount of thinking in terms of strategy. And the pay-off is instant. It has the elements of the lottery without needing to wait a week. And you can lay for as many times as you want. And for different numbers too. The music is appropriate and you get plenty of variety for the betting.

With its unique style, keno won’t appeal to everyone. There’s no storylines, aided spins or bonus features, and the visuals are more basic. No striking background or winning line motions either. But playing Tutan Kano for fun does also certainly reward the more adventurous player. The minimum RTP is 87.5%, but that increases to 92.84% if playing more aggressive.
