Knowledge nothing in numbers game (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

keno

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'numbers game' is the definition.
'keno' can be an answer for 'numbers' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'game' bit.

'knowledge nothing' is the wordplay.
'knowledge' becomes 'ken' (ken is a kind of knowledge).
'nothing' becomes 'o' (looks like zero - 0).
'ken'+'o'='KENO'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for keno that I've seen before include "gambler's choice" , "gambling game" , "2 8 [CASINO GAME]" , "game of chance" , "A bingo-like game" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
