Keno is one of those games you will know about or you don’t. It’s typically seen as a lottery in the casino. Like the lottery, the game consists of numbers being drawn. The challenge is to pick the numbers that will be selected. The game of Keno can be either fast or slow based on the casino. By betting on Keno online you can set the speed of the game. As for me, I like real life keno. You sit in a lounge, if you want, and play. Keno is a game that you don’t need to be in the lounge to participate and be a winner. For example, you can purchase a ticket for 20 games and then head off to play something else in the casino or even your suite if you’re staying at the casino.
Keno Game Board
The game is bet on on a board. The Keno game board consists of eighty total numbers – numbered 1 though eighty. The 1st 40 are known as a the top portion and the second forty are known as the bottom portion.
Participating in Keno
Each round of Keno plays out the same. The game begins, and twenty numbers are picked. The casino may be using the ball system. Ping pong style balls are sucked up and chosen, exactly like the lottery on television. Other casinos use computers. If a number you selected is chosen, that’s called a "hit." When all 20 numbers have been picked, the round concludes and winning tickets are cashed-in.
There is a fair amount of options in the game of Keno. For instance, you could select 1 number, two numbers and so forth-up to twenty numbers. Normally, you need to get a majority of your numbers to come away with anything. For example, if you select six numbers, you will usually have to hit three to earn your money back.
Keno Payouts
The payouts in Keno are pretty big. The odds of coming away with a win is dependent on the total numbers checked. For example, if you pick two numbers, you have a 6% chance of hitting your ticket. Each casino’s Keno department has their own pay outs. If you are going to play online, be sure you shop around for the best payouts first.
