Wait for the KENO Game to load. (It takes a few seconds).
Please feel free to enjoy our free online Keno game. If you are playing this game via your desktop or laptop computer, the game will almost certainly work for you. If you are playing on a mobile device such as an iPhone or iPad, you may experience problems with playing this game. If you want to play Keno on your mobile device, you should visit one of the casinos above.
With that being said, here are the following rules for standard Keno that you will find online at most casinos.
Standard Keno in a casino is played with a field of 80 numbers on a scorecard, with players able to place a wager on anywhere from between 1 and 10 numbers (with different payouts for different bets). Some casinos allow punters to select up to 20 numbers on a ticket, which would offer up even larger prizes. The odds of hitting all 20 numbers in Keno is 1:3.5 quintillion, with the odds of hitting 10 numbers being lower but still pretty dismal.
After selecting your bet, the casino will initiate the draw, in which they draw the specific set of numbers for the game. These numbers are drawn at random through a lottery style system.
Players will then be awarded cash prizes depending on the amount of numbers they opted to play on their ticket, how much they wagered per game, and if their numbers ended up being selected in the game. The more numbers that end up matching your ticket, the more you will end up winning from the casino or lottery service that holds the games.
Your best bets in this game are to go with your gut feeling, and not to get too disheartened when your numbers don’t pay off right away. Statistically speaking, Keno offers up some of the worst odds out of any game of chance. This means that you will likely have more losses than wins, but in the end it is more important that you have a good time than walk away with a big set of wins.
It is important that you study the betting slip to read the odds of winning each set of spots that you can select. If you are playing up to a 10 spot game, the best odds lie in a 3 spot game, which pays out the best set of odds. Of course, odds change from game to game, so you need to make sure to inspect the odds to see which set of numbers you want to play.
We also recommend you play Keno in a social setting if possible, as it is fun to see the numbers pop up when your friends are cheering you on.
Most importantly though, we urge you to have fun with Keno. Once you make the decision to play, there is little you can do to impact the outcome of the game. Keno doesn’t have the best odds, but it can pay out huge if you get lucky.
