Keno

Keno is very much like playing a lottery or Bingo and is available in most casinos and Bingo halls. The player is able to choose between 1 and 20 numbers and they are marked on a Keno ticket which has 80 numbers in total on it. 20 numbers are then drawn completely at random and the player is paid out depending on how many of his selected numbers were those that were drawn out.



The more correct numbers that the player gets right, the more he is going to receive as a payout. The actual amount will differ from casino to casino. The odds of hitting the ‘jackpot’ in Keno and getting 20 out of 20 numbers is very slim. In fact, the figure is in the thousands of millions to one.

Playing Keno is an attractive proposition to many unskilled casino players who are looking to play a game of chance where they can win big from small stakes. However the game of Keno is often the worst game to play in a casino due to its very high house edge. Whilst it varies from casino it can be as high as 60% which is many times higher than the worst bets in craps, and is over one hundred times higher than the house edge in Blackjack.
