Rules of Keno
Keno Rules are very simple. To play Keno, you choose a
minimum of 4 but no more than 10 figures between 1 and 80. Each
selection is called a 'Keno Spot', so if you choose 10 figures
you are playing a 10 keno Spot game.
Using the 'Keno crayon' Simply mark a blank Keno ticket
with the figures of your selection. Then present your ticket to
the Keno desk with your wager and the teller will provide you a
duplicate Keno ticket. In a couple of minutes, 20 numbered balls
will be drawn at random from a barrel holding 80 numbered balls,
and if enough of your chosen keno numbers are drawn, you are a
the Keno winner. The results are presented on displays, called
Keno boards, throughout the Casino. Simple Rules right?
The round of a Keno game is called a Keno race. In many
Casinos, 'multi-race' Keno is featured, where you can enter a
number of consecutive Keno races at one time to entice players
to wager more.
You mark your ticket and tell the dealer to enter it in
the "Red Keno game", "Green Keno game" or both. Basically it's a
way to increase action (wagering) without having to increase
floorspace and staff correspondingly. There are two separate
sets of balls and two keno boards, but only one lounge and set
of dealers. The casino figures you won't want to just play one
of the games because you "know" if you play just the "red game"
your numbers will come up only on the "green game". So players
tend to bet on both games, increasing the house's take.
Mathematically there's nothing special about playing both games,
though sometimes casinos offer prizes for hitting on both Keno
games. You can calculate the odds of hitting on both games by
multiplying combinations that pay off. For example, the chance
of catching 4 out of 6 is 0.02854, so the chance of catching 4
out of 6 in 2 simultaneous Keno games is 0.02854 x 0.02854 ~=
0.0008 or 1 in 1228.
Keno Strategies
There are a variety of strategies for playing keno. None
of them provides you with any advantage, but they can be fun to
play. Some of them can also be mighty expensive. As with
roulette you can "follow the old man", meaning play those keno
figures that seem to be coming up more often than the others.
The assumption is that they will keep coming up again in the
future.
The reality is they don't come up any more than chance
dictates. Or you can "let the old man chase you", meaning play
numbers that haven't come up in recent games, on the theory that
they'll start coming up in order to make the long-run results
for each number even out. Again, the reality is that the keno
balls have no memory. Number 47 may not have come up in the last
10 Keno games, but that has no predictive value. In such a case
the molecules that make up ball number 47 do not strain
themselves to "even the score".
The keno playing card is divided into an upper and lower
half. Some Keno Players would always be sure to spread their
choices evenly across both halves in order to "play the whole
card". Their assumption was that if you just picked 6 figures
from say the lower half then you wouldn't catch as many as if
you picked 3 figures from the lower half and 3 from the upper
half. After all, most every game will see about half the house
numbers drawn in the upper part and half drawn in the lower
part. But the truth is that it doesn't matter, the balls don't
care what the playing Keno cards look like. The Casino could
print every card differently. A group of figures that produces a
balanced keno card for one configuration might be highly
unbalanced in another. This will not cause one group of figures
to be drawn more often than any other set.
While not precisely a keno strategy, some players may see
it entertaining to play somebody else's losing keno card. If the
fellow next to you gets up to leave, get his losing keno card to
the dealer and say "Play it again". This takes a certain amount
of timing, judgement and cheek, but can be pleasure if pulled
off well.
Keno Bets
Minimum Keno bets can be as low as 10 cents or even 5
cents (varied from one casino to another of course), although
some Casinos only accept bets of $1 or more. The house's Keno
brochures provide you data about payoffs and various tickets you
can play.
The sum of money you win is dependent upon the type of
card you play and the number of 'keno spots' caught. You may
play as many keno tickets as you desire. You could win as much
as $100,000 on a $1 wager in some Casinos.
