Keno

Similar to playing the lottery, this is a casino game of nothing but luck really. Even though this game used to be remembered as the game you could play while eating a $1.99 buffet (back when they actually had $1.99 buffets) on The Strip, this game is know played all over the Internet. Maybe because it is a game deriving from old-school Vegas convenience - really you could and now can play it anywhere you sit still long enough to find a runner. Now, you can play it at home with out even having to use a runner.

This game is fun, laid-back, and easy.

How this game is played

Typically each keno card will have 80 numbers separated into two halves - the top and the bottom. The top having numbers 1-40. The bottom having the numbers 41-80.

Typically, the computer randomly selects 20 numbers from 1-80. You win various amount of money depending on how many of your selected numbers show from the ones the computer randomly selects.

Most commonly, players play a straight ticket. This is where players will chose 1-15 numbers. The pay-out schedule for the amount of your numbers that hit will vary from casino to casino. Think lottery here folks - its that simple.

Now, online casinos have developed many new types of keno games. Different amounts of numbers selected by the computer, different offers for players to pick certain amount od numbers. All in all, the basics are the same.

Study the casino's offerings, cards and pay-out schedules first to find the game that suits your personal needs.
