ARCADIAN 3 no. 11 (September 11, 1981): 116-117.

"Keno" is a 1981 "Arcadian" newsletter program.  It was found in the Bob Fabris 
collection on a tape along with the unpublished programs "Pinball I" and 
"Blockout 5.0."  Paul Thacker actually already found "Keno II 2.0" on a 
different tape in same collection.  He compared the two versions of "Keno II," 
and while the BASIC code is identical, the data in the @() array is completely 
different.  It turns out that the newest one matches what was printed in the 
"Arcadian."  This new version is now the primary version, which the other 
version (previously online) is the alternate version.


Instructions from the game:

Program displays keno card and cash remaining. You pick 1 to 15 numbers using 
hand controller. Number of picks is tallied next to go. If you pick 1 to 14 
numbers, pick go to start. The computer picks and displays 20 numbers and 
calculates payoff. To see payoff table push the Divide key.

From the "Arcadian" newsletter:

One other hint with Keno, if you decide to choose less than the maximum 14 
numbers, run the cursor down to the GO character with the hand controller and 
press the trigger while there.
