A Guide to Playing Casino Keno
Keno is essentially a fast-paced, continuous lottery game hosted directly inside the casino environment.
Despite its slow pace, hitting a massive Keno ticket can result in some of the largest payouts in the casino.
How to Fill Out a Keno Ticket
The standard game of Keno utilizes a board or ticket featuring numbers ranging from 1 to 80.
If the casino draws the numbers you selected, you win a prize based on how many "catches" you achieved.
- Choose between 1 and 15 numbers (spots) on a ticket
- The casino randomly draws 20 winning numbers
- Payouts depend entirely on the number of successful matches
The Mathematics Behind Keno
Keno is notorious for having one of the absolute highest house edges of any game in the modern casino.
Compare this to blackjack, which has a house edge of 0.5%, and you realize how difficult Keno is to beat.
How to Survive at Keno
Picking "hot" numbers or analyzing past draws is a complete waste of time due to the random number generator.
It is best played passively while eating dinner at the casino restaurant or relaxing in the lounge with a drink.
| Spots Played | Odds of Hitting ALL | Difficulty Level |
|---|
| 3 Spots | 1 in 72 | Easy |
| 10 Spots | 1 in 8.9 Million | Extreme (Lottery Level) |
As long as you understand the brutal math and play strictly for entertainment, Keno is a delightfully relaxing game.
