Adin Ross hits a big-money win on Keno with a simple setup
A recent big-money Keno win by popular Kick streamer Adin Ross shows that sometimes, the biggest betting payouts can come from just keeping things simple.
With its simple visuals and design, Keno isn’t the kind of game many streamers try to entertain audiences or to create flashy clips. More often, players like Adin Ross turn to it to change things up with a focus purely on winning. 10 numbers are drawn each round, instantly confirming wins or losses. The setup is just that simple. Even so, while Keno looks straightforward on the surface, landing a big hit can be just as difficult as hitting a major feature in a modern and complex online slot.
This is exactly what makes Adin Ross’ recent Keno win so special, as the streamer bet $2,000 on the game’s high-volatility mode and found some big money in doing so.

One of the benefits to playing Keno is that it can allow players to win big quickly if their luck strikes true, and it appeared that Adin Ross was having a particularly rough day when he started Keno, betting $2,000 on the game’s high-volatility mode. That mode of play meant the game had reduced its natural hit frequency while boosting the top-end payout potential, something a bettor might do if they’re chasing big jackpots in lieu of smaller and more consistent wins.
Playing high volatility usually favors wider number selections for safety, but Adin went the opposite direction in looking to strike it big on the game. Rather than covering the board with 10 numbers to maximize opportunities for a win, he chose the risky route and locked in just three picks, setting himself up for a low-frequency, but very high-reward, potential outcome.

Adin didn’t waste time selecting 17, 18, and 19 as his lucky numbers as he waited for the results. In Keno, the game always draws 10 random numbers out of 40, regardless of how many picks the player makes. Because Adin chose only three numbers, he was playing a three-spot payout table. Hitting all three selections in such a situation is very rare but can be highly rewarding, especially on the game’s high volatility mode.
As the draw resolved, all three of his chosen numbers landed within the 10 that were drawn. It was the rarest possible outcome for a Keno player, and the Kick streamer immediately knew that he had just come up big.
Adin Ross jumped out of his chair upon realizing that he’d triggered Keno’s max payout tier for that configuration. With high volatility enabled, the full three-number hit paid 75x the base bet. On a $2,000 stake, that translated into a $150,000 total win, resolved instantly in a single draw. Adin clearly knew what it meant, and his reaction said everything.
He repeatedly shouted that he “needed that really bad” as his counter jumped with the big win payout. It was a visible release after a long stretch of pressure and missed draws while playing other online casino games, and it turned the entire session on its head for Adin.
