A method is provided for playing a keno game that allows for selection of proxy spots in addition to standard spots. A keno board is displayed showing a set of available numbers. A set of numbers is selected. The set of selected numbers is a sub-set of available numbers, and the selected set comprising a first sub-set of numbers and a second sub-set of numbers. For each number in the first sub-set of numbers, a number from the second sub-set of numbers is selected to link to the number in the first sub-set of numbers. A set of drawn numbers from the set of available numbers is selected. Hits are determined by comparing the first sub-set of numbers and the second sub-set of numbers and the drawn numbers. Payout is calculated based on the determined hits.
