Keno is one of those games you either have knowledge of or you don’t. It is generally considered a lotto in the casino. Like the lottery, the game consists of numbered balls being selected. The challenge is to select the numbers that come up. The game of Keno can either be quick or slow based on the casino. By playing Keno on the net you can control the pace of the game. Personally, I prefer live keno. You sit in a lounge, if you want, and play. Keno is a game that you do not need to be present to play and be a winner. For instance, you could purchase a ticket for 20 games and then head off to compete in another game in the casino or even your hotel room if you’re staying at the casino.

Keno Game Board

The game is played on a board. The Keno game board consists of eighty numbers total – numbered one to eighty. The first forty are referred to as the top half and the 2nd forty are called the bottom half.

Playing Keno

Each game of Keno plays out the same. The game starts, and twenty numbers are drawn. The casino might be utilizing the ball system. Ping pong style balls are blown up and chosen, just like the lottery on television. Some other casinos utilize computers. If a number you checked is chosen, that is referred to as a "hit." When all 20 numbers are selected, the game ends and winning tickets are cashed-in.

There is an abundance of diversity in the game of Keno. For example, you might pick 1 number, 2 numbers and so forth-up to 20 numbers. Normally, you have to hit most of your numbers to come away with anything. For instance, if you select 6 numbers, you will generally need to hit 3 to get your money back.

Keno Payouts

The pay outs in Keno are fairly big. The chances of coming away with a win is based on the total numbers picked. For instance, if you select two numbers, you will have a six percent chance of hitting your ticket. Each casino’s Keno department has their own pay outs. If you are playing online, make sure you shop everywhere for the best payouts first.
