| KENO RULES |
| The game of keno is board game in which 80 balls are there and it numbered as 1 to 80 like internet bingo. In each turn of every draw 20 balls selected randomly displayed on keno board. Randomly selected numbers called by casino dealer. Each casino usually has its own casino brochure which helps you decide how much to bet on each ticket. Most casinos do include some betting bonuses in their pay out schedule but most Keno payout schedules look something like this: |
| Play 6 numbers |
| Catch |
play$1 |
play $2 |
play $5 |
| 3 |
$ 1 |
$ 2 |
$ 5 |
| 4 |
$ 8 |
$ 16 |
$ 40 |
| 5 |
$ 50 |
$ 100 |
$ 250 |
| 6 |
$ 1500 |
$ 3000 |
$ 7500 |
"Play 6 numbers" refers to the payoffs won you marked 6 numbers on your Keno ticket. "Numbers" are also sometimes called "spots". If you play 6 numbers you are said to be "playing a 6-spot". The term $1 means you can bet $1 on your ticket. From looking at this payout table you can see why Keno is so popular. It is actually possible to make $1500 by placing a $1 bet!
There is no strategic advantage to betting more than the minimum; the payoffs simply mirror the scale of your bet. If you "only" catch 5 numbers the payoff is substantially less, and so on, down to a $1 payoff for catching any 3 of the 6 you selected. If you catch fewer than 3, your ticket is worthless. As the payoff table shows, if you play 6 numbers and catch all 6, a $1 ticket will return $1500. However the odds of this happening are about 7500 to 1.
However one thing to remember in terms of winning is that the more numbers you mark the more you have to nail in order to win anything as bingo game. The biggest mistake made by beginning players is playing too many numbers at first. The payoffs are set such that in dollar terms the house percentage is pretty much the same regardless of how many numbers are won. Sometimes there is bonus for making off a lot of numbers if you hit a certain number. In most casinos that winning bonus number is the number 0. |
