They say Keno is just a game of luck -- something identical to any common day lottery. However, even while the Keno game involves a lot of reliance on luck, it is better for the player to be aware of the game play, the various rules, etc, before staring a game. Also, a certain level of keno knowledge is actually expected if you want to avoid losing big -- leave alone winning -- in a keno game. So, the first thing to do is to learn the basics.
Keno is actually one of the easiest gambling games that you can find. Playing Keno is about selecting at least four but not greater than 10 numbers in-between one and 80. Every selection you make is named a 'Spot'. Hence, if you happen to pick 10 numbers, you are then playing a 10 Spot keno. The Keno tickets are placed all through the Casino at tables and in the Keno lounge. The Casino usually offers a Keno crayon for this.
All you have to do is mark a plain Keno ticket with numbers that you have chosen. You should then give the ticket along with the wager to the Keno desk and you will get a duplicate ticket from the clerk. Following this, a total of twenty Keno balls with numbering are drawn in random from a tub having 80 balls. You win if you get enough drawn numbers as those you selected.
You can refer the house's brochures to get info about the payoffs and the variety of tickets that you can play. The cash you win depends on the ticket type you play and also the total number of spots that are caught. There are no restrictions on the number of tickets played. House advantage in Keno depends on the Keno game type played. Usually it is 30% or more, while the possibility of getting a particular numeral out of the 80 is around 0.25%.
Some say that Keno games should be avoided as the house edge is very high. Yes, the house edge is big, but the price money too is big. And participating in a few inexpensive games is definitely not going to make you bankrupt. As long as you know your limits and are comfortable losing some money for the fun, you won?t face problems in keno games.
