Keno is one of those games you either know about or you don’t. It is basically considered a lottery in the casino. Like the lotto, the game consists of numbered balls being drawn. The object is to pick the numbers that will be selected. The game of Keno can either be fast or slow depending on the casino. By wagering on Keno on the internet you can set the pace of the game. As for me, I like real life keno. You hang out in a lounge, if you want, and enjoy. Keno is a game that you don’t have to be in the lounge to participate and be a winner. For example, you could put in a ticket for twenty games and then head off to participate in something else in the casino or even your suite if you’re staying in the casino.
Keno Board
The game is wagered on on a game board. The Keno board consists of eighty numbers total – numbered one to 80. The first forty are referred to as the top half and the second forty are known as the bottom portion.
Playing Keno
Each round of Keno goes the same. The round starts, and 20 numbers are picked. The casino might be using the ball system. Ping pong style balls are sucked up and picked, exactly like the lottery on television. Other casinos use computers. If a number you checked is chosen, that’s called a "hit." When all twenty numbers have been picked, the round ends and winning tickets are paid.
There is an abundance of diversity in the game of Keno. For example, you can select 1 number, 2 numbers and so on up to twenty numbers. Normally, you have to hit a majority of your numbers to win anything. For instance, if you select 6 numbers, you will normally have to hit three to get your money back.
Keno Pay outs
The payouts in Keno are pretty big. The chances of getting a win will be dependent on the total numbers checked. For instance, if you select 2 numbers, you will have a six percent chance of hitting your ticket. Every casino’s Keno department has their very own payouts. If you are playing on the internet, be sure you shop around for the best pay outs first.
