Keno Rules


The Rules of keno are similar to the rules of the lottery or bingo. In keno you have to choose from a multitude of numbers. You also have to have numbers broadcasted and see if you picked the right ones.

This game is so popular for many reasons. It really should not be seeing that it offers a horrible house edge of about 25%, which means that that this game is pure luck pretty much.

For one thing it is just like playing lotto, I mean it makes you feel at home in the casino; you have your lottery ticket and you wait for your numbers to be called.

In addition it offers an amazing thrill. In some cases you CAN turn $1.00 into $50,000.00, which tends to draw a huge crowd.

The way the game works is as followed:

You go up to the teller and you receive a ticket. Simple enough already and it doesn’t get much harder than that. You now have to choose your numbers. Now here is the tricky part. How many of the numbers can you choose? You then can pick up to 15 numbers, and make your bet with the teller and hand her a card to receive a copy.

Now you are saying,
“With more numbers picked you have a greater chance of winning right?”.
That is understandable and technically true but the more numbers you choose the more numbers you need to win.

It works with the ratio of numbers you chose to the amount of numbers that were randomly selected that you had marked down on your ticket.

For example, let’s say that you chose 3 numbers and another guy chose 4 numbers. When they call out the winning numbers and you both got 2 correct you would get a larger winning. You would both win but since you only chose 3 numbers to beginning with your ratio would be 2/3 while the other guy’s ratio was 2/4.

So the higher the ratio the more money you win. Its as simple as that, but remember that the house has a 25% edge over you so don’t think that you will be able to turn $100.00 into $100,00.00 in one game just like that.

*IMPORTANT*
 
You have to give in your ticket before they start the next game or they you lose your winnings. This is understandable because anyone can have thousands of old tickets with all different numbers that they can hand in depending on the random numbers chosen.

There are also other options for the people who don't have time to stay at the casino and leave. You can get a multi-race ticket or a stray and play ticket.
