Online Casino

Keno is a fast online lottery or bingo-type game. There´s normally a "bubble" with 80 or so numbered ping pong balls that are drawn out at random. You fill out a blank keno ticket with 80 numbered boxes, place you bets, and cross your fingers. The casino generally draws 20 balls and you hope for a result.

There´s always a payout table which will show you what payout you´ll get for matching your numbers to the balls that are drawn.  Payouts vary from casino to casino, so it is important that you study them and try and work out the house edge. In fact, even within one casino, you might get several different keno variants being played.

Generally, the more numbers you choose and the more numbers you hit, the greater the jackpot.

Keno is said to have evolved from an early Chinese game.

Top Tips for Playing Keno Online

Keno is pretty simple to play- that is half of its appeal. But a few things are worth bearing in mind when you play:

The house edge on a single number is pretty high at 25%. But bet on multiple numbers, and you can get the edge down to 5%- so picking groups of numbers is always better than betting on one, even if your outlay is higher. We´d suggest betting on between 6 and 10 numbers.

Most players bet on the same amount of numbers on every round. Be consistent.

Remember that Keno is about as close to a pure chance game as you are likely to find at an online casino. You are not going to be able to make use of any fancy strategies on this game- it´s purely a fun game of chance, just like the lottery. But just remember, that you can only play the lottery once or twice a week. Keno is much faster, so don´t go crazy- just enjoy yourself. Only bet what you can afford to lose. Set a budget, a profit target and a stop loss limit and walk away when you have hit one of them.
