Keno Playing Guide

Keno is a game of chance similar to lottery. It is very easy to learn and many on-line Casinos have free trials to warm up with before actually making a bet.

Choosing your Numbers

A standard Keno card has fields marked with the numbers 1-80. On-line Keno lets you choose up to 15 numbers. You mark a number by clicking on it and you can see that it has been selected as the field that it is in changes color. If you want to change your choice of numbers you can deselect a number by simply clicking on it again.

You sometimes have the option of letting the computer choose your numbers randomly. If this is the case you will find a click-on button with this automatic option.

As you mark the numbers you want to select you will see your potential payoff in one corner of the screen.

Making your Bet

When you have decided what and how many numbers you want to play with it is time to make the bet. The bet is usually between 1$ to 5$ with 5$ being the maximum bet in most on-line casinos. As you set your bet you will find that the potential payoff adjusts accordingly in the corner of the screen.

When you've made your choice you press the play-button and the Keno machine, on-line software, will draw 20 numbers. If your numbers match the ones drawn by the computer you’re a winner.

Multiple Games

You can choose to play more then one game at once and this is done by clicking on the pre-set buttons indicating the amount of games. After each round you can see your score in a corner of your screen. You can also click on each game and get detailed information about it. If you want to keep the same numbers in each round you can use a click-on button for repeating the bet. If not you simply click on the numbers you want for each individual round.

Keno Tournaments

If you participate in a Keno Tournament you can win additional money if you score the best according to the criteria of the specific tournament. Some online casinos have tournaments that are over within a few minutes while others will announce the highest score at the end of a month.

Prize Money

The prize sum will depend on how many correctly matched numbers you have and how much you bet. It is also relevant how many numbers you selected for the game. The more numbers you choose, the higher is the potential winning for a complete match. If you end up with only a few matches it would have been wiser to select fewer numbers to begin with.

It is possible to make a lot of money from a small bet. A bet of 1$ could give 1500$ and this in a time span of 5 minutes. The catch is that this is a chance game and you need to be very lucky to make big money. It might be a good idea to play it mainly for the fun and not the money.
