Overview:
Keno is such a popular and exciting pastime because it offers
the possibility of winning spectacular payouts on relatively
small wagers. Keno can usually be played in the keno lounge, in
most dining areas, or at portable keno stations on the casino
floor. If players wish to play keno outside of the lounge area,
keno runners circulate the casino ready to place wagers, and
numerous television monitors keep players informed of the
winning numbers.
The keno numbers are printed on 80 individual ping-pong balls,
which are either spun around in a wire bird cage, or blown
around in a large clear plastic sphere. As each ball is
selected, the winning number is electronically highlighted on
the keno boards throughout the casino. The house draws 20
numbers out of the field of 80.
Players can choose as few as one number or as many as 15. To
place bets, a keno ticket, which has boxes for all 80 numbers
must be filled out. The casino provides a keno crayon, which is
used to mark down the selected numbers.
In most Casinos winning bets must be collected before the next
game begins. Some Casinos have different rules on payments but
it's a good idea to check it out before you run into trouble.
A player can win as little as one dollar to as much as 50,000
depending on how many numbers were selected and the amount
wagered. This is a tough game to beat but as I said before it's
great for a change of pace and you can sit during the game, and
wait.
