The live casino world hasn’t seen enough keno.
We certainly stand behind that statement, but Betconstruct actually took action and delivered a well-executed Live Keno game in spring 2020.
Adding more content is something all software providers are often pressured about, but it can’t all just be adding the same old game over and over again. Fresh ideas and versatile content are what makes a gaming portfolio last much longer.

Adding Live Keno to the Betconstruct repertoire is great news not only for the players but also for the industry as a whole.
BetConstruct’s innovative and proven offerings include Online and Retails Sportsbook, Classic and Virtual Reality RNG & Live Casinos, Poker, Skill Games, Fantasy Sports, Social Gaming Platform. Betconstruct Live Roulette has something unique other Live Roulette games don’t have. It’s the ability to Build your Bets at the table, without having to place real money bets while you do it. It’s something so simple it’s mystified me why the other live casino providers haven’t provided it before.
The lottery-like game is a simple multiplayer game with a new round starting once every 3 minutes. The game relies on an automated machine to provide the result of each round. Betconstruct’sstudio holds a keno machine certified by GLI (Gaming Laboratories International). This means the machine generates fair, random results. To make things more interesting, Betconstruct incorporated several entertaining features into the gameplay, making the Live Keno experience so much more than the just lottery.
Side Bets
As well as this helpful feature, BetConstruct blackjack also offers three different side bets – including one unique one that we haven’t seen anywhere else. These side bets are:
- Perfect Pairs
- Honey Bonus
- Lucky 7s
Perfect pairs is available at most live casino blackjack tables, regardless of the developer. This bet involves betting that you or the dealer will get some kind of pair – either coloured, mixed or perfect. Perfect pairs, i.e. a pair of the same suit, will pay out 25:1. Coloured pairs pay out 12:1, and a mix pair pays out 5:1.
The Honey Bonus is quite similar to the 21+3 bonus that you will find at many live blackjack tables, but with a unique twist. Here you bet on yours and the dealer’s hands to make a poker style hand. These include a three-of-a-kind (20:1), a straight (10:1) and a flush (5:1). Exclusively added here is the suited blackjack bet, which pays out 3:1 on top of your normal pay-out for a blackjack.
Thirdly, we have another exclusive side bet for BetConstruct players – Lucky 7s. The payout table for this bet is as follows:
- One seven pays out 3:1
- Pair of sevens (different suits) pays 25:1
- Pair of suited sevens – 50:1
- Three unsuited sevens – 100:1
- Three suited sevens 500:1
Although side bets are generally not used by top-tier blackjack players, as they do not represent a good overall RTP, many players might see a massive 500:1 windfall on three sevens as just too attractive to not occasionally take a chance on.
One extra bet also offered is insurance. This allows you to forfeit half your stake if the dealer draws an ace as their first card, in return for a guaranteed win should the dealer then draw a blackjack. Insurance bets pay out at 2:1. If the dealer doesn’t draw a blackjack, the hand is played normally and you can still win. However, you will have lost half your stake.
Lastly, BetConstruct offers neither the ability to bet-behind nor unlimited tables. This means that should your preferred table be full, you have no choice but to head elsewhere to a different one – which is a little disappointing, but not unforgivable.
Betconstruct Live Casino Slots
One more negative that we had to mention, was the fact that BetConstruct blackjack tables will often update the electronic score of your hand before the live dealer has finished dealing your card. This eliminates some tension and adds and avoidable feeling of minor inauthenticity to proceedings.
