Keno is a lottery-style casino game similar to bingo. That isn’t to say that it is just like bingo. It will take up some time and won’t hurt your bankroll too much. There are some different variations of it at online casinos. But it has much better payouts than bingo.
The game started in China and you choose one or more numbers from a field of 1-80. You match randomly drawn numbers just like in bingo. Each game is called a race. The payout depends on how many numbers you match, how much you bet and if the bet was at a special rate. Keno is based entirely on chance so there is no real strategy.
You choose between one and 15 numbers for each game. Twenty of 80 possible numbers are drawn. Therefore, you only have to match 15 of the 20 drawn numbers to get the jackpot, which can be from thousands to millions of dollars. The average keno jackpot is $10,000. You mark your ticket by putting an “X” over your chosen numbers. When playing 15 numbers, six must be matched for a payout. Depending on how many numbers you bet, the house edge is 22%-50%, making it an unfavorable casino game.
Keno has two ways to play: a straight bet or a way bet. Straight bets allow you to pick individual numbers, up to a total of 15. Way bets group the numbers selected into sets, which gives you more ways to win. So, if you select six numbers, they can be separated into three groups of two numbers, giving you four ways to win (a straight bet, plus three groups). This way bet is like playing four different tickets. Circle your numbers to keep track.
