If you want a quick and fun game to play, then it is worth considering playing Keno. Keno is a game of luck, and is based on picking or predicting numbers that are chosen by the keno table. How the table works in a normal casino is this: there are 80 balls in a glass bubble, and each ball has a different number labelled from 1 to 80.

The players who want to bet, then note down the numbers they think are going to be chosen by the keno table. The balls are mixed together randomly and 20 balls are chosen. This gives 20 different numbers from 1 to 80. The players then see if they have guessed the correct numbers. You may have seen the same concept in the lotto, and it is exactly the same in Keno, except the number selection is more flexible and there are more chances to win.

The house edge in the games depends on the odds that are given, and the table design. The edge is from 4% up to 35% in some casinos. Online casinos tend to give better odds than brick and mortar casinos.

How to pick your numbers in Keno

There are many different ways for you to pick your numbers. Firstly you must choose how many different numbers you are going to bet on. Unlike the lotto, where you have a fixed number of numbers that you must guess, Keno is flexible. The greater the amount of numbers you are going to try and predict, the greater the odds.

The smaller the number, the less you are going to win with your bet if you predict them all. This means that if you are betting on just 3 numbers, guessing all of them correctly will win you less than betting on 10 numbers and guessing them all correctly. You also get awarded a win if you guess more than 3 numbers normally – so guessing 3 numbers correctly out of 5 numbers may still win a bet.

The most popular way of choosing the numbers is from a straight ticket. Here the player chooses a number which he or she thinks will come up, based on birthdays, telephone numbers, or just lucky numbers.

You can also pick your tickets in different ways from straight numbers. Other popular methods include split tickets, way tickets and combination tickets. A split ticket is just the same as two straight tickets played on the same ticket, whereas a way ticket three straight tickets on the same ticket. This allows the player to reduce their risk and bet lower than the table minimum.

You can also play top or bottom tickets. This allows the player to mark off the top half, or the bottom half of the ticket. If 13 of the balls come up as being on the top half or the bottom half then the player stands to win. The same concept can win in left and right tickets.
