Power Keno v1.0 is a 1999 shareware video keno simulator for Classic Mac OS by Crescent Vision Interactive, LLC. It models the casino power-ball variant of keno, in which players pick numbers and watch animated balls float through a virtual keno machine before the draw. Registration cost USD 15.
Gameplay
The player marks a spread of numbers on a standard keno card, locks the bet, and watches the machine draw twenty balls. Power-ball multipliers boost the payout when the bonus number matches, the same hook that distinguishes Power Keno from plain keno.
Presentation
Crescent Vision leaned on production polish for a small shareware title: original artwork, sound effects keyed to draws and wins, and animations of the floating balls in the cage. The look targets the late-1990s 800x600 Mac aesthetic.
Features
Beyond the core game, Power Keno bundles game-state save, running statistics across sessions, and built-in online help. Unregistered copies are explicitly cleared for inclusion on commercially pressed CD-ROM compilations.
System and distribution
The build is PowerPC-only and requires a Power Mac running System 7.5 or later with an 800x600 display. It shipped as an Info-Mac .hqx archive under the game/crd category and was downloadable from crescentvision.com.
