Greek Keno, known as "Kino" in Greece and also referred to as "Greek Keno 20/80," is a lottery organized by OPAP S.A., the company responsible for the official national lotteries of Greece. The first Greek Keno draw took place on October 4th, 2004. For nearly 20 years, the lottery was available exclusively offline. This changed in April 2023 when OPAP S.A. introduced the option to play online, though it is only available to players within Greece.

Greek Keno 20/80 Rules
Greek Keno is open exclusively to individuals who are of legal age.
In Greek Keno, players have the task of selecting between 1 and 12 numbers from a pool of 1 to 80. During each draw of the official Greek Keno results, a machine randomly selects 20 numbers out of the 80. Players can choose how many numbers they want to pick, and they also have the option to select a Multiplier ranging from x1 to x10. The higher the Multiplier, the larger the potential winnings.
Players can fill out a paper ticket or play Keno lottery online. Both methods offer the option to use "Quick Pick," where the system randomly selects numbers for you, or you can choose the numbers manually.
Claiming Keno Prizes in Greece
In Greece, Greek Keno winnings are distributed either through OPAP stores, where players must present their winning ticket, or via authorized banks in accordance with the procedures established by OPAP S.A.
It's important to remember that tickets which are lost, damaged, altered, or otherwise cannot be validated by the Central Processing System are deemed invalid and are not eligible for any prizes or compensation from OPAP S.A.
Tax on Keno Prizes in Greece
There is a progressive tax applied to the winnings of each slip per draw, according to the following tax scale:
- Winnings up to €100 - Tax-free
- Winnings from €100.01 to €200 - Tax rate: 2.5% (on the amount exceeding €100)
