A method of presenting a non-keno game outcome through a simulated keno game on an electronic gaming machine, the method comprising:

• receiving, via a user interface of the electronic gaming machine, a selected feature quantity;
• receiving, via the user interface, selected keno numbers from a set of keno numbers;
• displaying, on a display screen of the electronic gaming machine, a non-keno game, wherein the non-keno game is associated with the non-keno game outcome;
• and
• displaying, on the display screen, the simulated keno game, wherein the simulated keno game has a keno game outcome that is equivalent to the non-keno game outcome, and wherein the simulated keno game comprises:
• designating a feature keno number subset from the set of keno numbers, wherein a size of the feature keno number subset is based on the selected feature quantity,
• displaying, on the display screen, a draw of numbered keno balls from the set of keno numbers, and
• determining a hit count, wherein the hit count is simulated as being based on zero or more matches between the draw of numbered keno balls and the selected keno numbers, and wherein the hit count is associated with a keno game reward,
• determining a feature hit count, wherein the feature hit count is simulated as being based on zero or more matches between the draw of numbered keno balls, the selected keno numbers, and the feature keno number subset, wherein the feature hit count is associated with a feature bonus that varies depending on the feature hit count;
• and
• simulating an application of the feature bonus to the keno game reward to obtain the keno game outcome.
