Keno is a lottery style casino game where you can win a
very large amount in proportion to the amount you bet. Of course
with any game that offers such big winning the odds are not great and the house edge is quite high. Still many people enjoy playing lottery style games so casino keno is a popular game.
Casino keno boards have a total of 80 numbers of which you can pick
a maximum of 15 and a minimum of 1. You win based on the amount of numbers you correctly guess with the biggest wins for matching between 10 and 15 numbers.
How To Play Keno
Playing keno is a very simple matter. All you need to do is select
some numbers and wait for the numbers to be drawn. At land based casinos there is often a keno area where you will find tickets to fill in. You mark your numbers on the ticket and then take it to the Keno desk where you pay for the ticket.
Video Keno
Online you will find that most casinos have at least one keno game
which is really video keno. It's played the same
way as casino keno except you use a video terminal rather than tickets. You select numbers by clicking them on the screen and can start the draw at any time by clicking play.
Best Online Keno
The best version of keno on the Internet is found at Microgaming and Vegas Technology casinos. Both software types use the same pay table with the
Pick 13 being the best bet with a return of 96.54%. Match all 13 numbers and you win 6,000 coins ($6000 to $30,000 depending on coin size).
If you are looking for bigger jackpots then the progressive keno game offered at Cryptologic casinos is worth looking at. You need to match 10 numbers to win the progressive and games cost $1. The highest jackpot won on the Cryptologic keno was just over $280,000 - not bad for a $1 bet!
