Keno is one of those games you either have knowledge of or you don’t. It is generally seen as a lotto in the casino. Like the lottery, the game consists of numbers being selected. The goal is to pick the numbers that come up. The game of Keno can be either fast or leisurely depending on the casino. By betting on Keno on the internet you can control the pace of the game. Personally, I like real life keno. You sit in a lounge, if you like, and play. Keno is a game that you don’t have to be in the lounge to enjoy and be a winner. For instance, you can put in a ticket for twenty games and then go compete in something else in the casino or even your room if you’re staying in the casino.
Keno Game Board
The game is played on a game board. The Keno game board consists of 80 total numbers – number one though eighty. The first forty are referred to as the top portion and the bottom forty are called the bottom half.
Participating in Keno
Every round of Keno plays out in the same manner. The game begins, and 20 numbers are selected. They may be using the ball system. Ping pong style balls are blown up and selected, exactly like the lottery on TV. Some other casinos use computers. If a number you marked is selected, that’s called a "hit." When all twenty numbers are selected, the round ends and winning tickets are cashed-in.
There is a fair amount of diversity in the game of Keno. For example, you could choose just one number, 2 numbers and so on up to twenty numbers. As a rule, you have to hit a majority of your numbers to win something. For example, if you select six numbers, you will usually have to hit three to win your cash back.
Keno Payouts
The pay outs in Keno are pretty big. The probability of getting a win depends on the total numbers marked. For instance, if you pick 2 numbers, you have a six percent probability of hitting your ticket. Each casino’s Keno department has their own payouts. If you are playing on the web, be sure you look around for the biggest pay outs first.
