The present invention includes an interactive keno game method that
comprises receiving at least one player selected symbol from a player
during a game session. The at least one player selected symbol is drawn
from a set of game symbols. The method then proceeds to receive a
condition from the player that identifies the player credits applied for
each chargeable action. The condition describes the number of credits
that are to be played during each chargeable action. Each chargeable
action includes the picking of at least one game selected symbol from the
set of game symbols. During a game session the chargeable actions are
performed more than once. Additionally, if there is a match between the
at least one game selected symbol and the at least one player selected
symbol the game session is paused. Furthermore, a prize may be awarded to
the player when the at least one player selected symbol matches the at
least one game selected symbol. During the game session, the player is
provided with various opportunities to terminate the game session wherein
the game session outcome is achieved at least in part by the player's
skill. Additionally, the interactive keno game may be terminated because
the game rules require ending the game session or the player has
insufficient credits to continue the game session.
