The Game of Keno

Similar in play style to a lottery or Bingo game, video  Keno enjoys a large fan base worldwide and can be found in nearly any land-based casino and many online casinos as well. Essentially in this electronic game a computer uses a serious of algorithms to randomly generate numbers on a video screen. Players choose an amount of numbers they hope to be picked. The more numbers chosen the more chances to win and receive larger cash payouts. Many people enjoy video Keno over live keno because players are allowed to play the game as their own pace.

How to Play

Betting amounts can range anywhere from $0.10 to $10, choose the best limit that best suits your play and get ready to begin. Next players will choose their numbers. On a board of 80 numbers most games will allow the player to choose about 10 numbers, however some let players go as high as 15. Simply click the numbers you wish to play and begin. If you misclick on a number you didn’t mean to select, simply click it again to de-select the number. A random option may be available depending where you play. This option will have the computer randomly select your numbers for you.

Once numbers have been selected, click play to begin and the machine will begin calling out random numbers. Video Keno machines will call out a total of 20 numbers during the game. If your number or combination of numbers is called you are awarded points, credits or coins, whatever the medium is as designated by the casino. It’s as simple as that and now that you know how to play you can get started anytime. Just make sure to investigate all your options when sitting down to a Video Keno game before you begin play.

Tips

While Keno is a simple and straight forward game there are some tips and strategys available to help tip the scales in your advantage. One good piece of advice for any player is to choose number and play them in patterns rather than in random spots across the board. Always play at least 3 and little more than 8 individual numbers. Always use as many coins as are allowed to maximize you pay outs.

One big one most palyers don’t think about is to pick the same numbers regularly, eventually you will come out ahead, no matter how long you’ve been playing because each game is random. Always cash out immediately and play again to ensure you always have a handle on your money. One of the best pieces of advice for a player playing any game is know when to quit. If you cash out after each game, it is that much easier to quit while you are still ahead.
