If you`ve never played Keno before, you`re about to find out just how easy it is to learn. The basics of the game are the same regardless of where you play it but the payouts and guidelines can vary from casino to casino. Before playing, it is recommended that you stop by a Keno counter and pick up a free booklet outlining the house rules and payouts.
Keno is a very simple game to play. Each keno ticket is numbered from 1 to 80. These numbers correspond to the numbered balls in the keno bowl from which 20 numbers are randomly selected each game.
To play keno, you simply mark 1 to 20 numbers on a blank keno ticket. Then, designate the amount you wish to wager, and the number of games you wish to play, in the space indicated on the ticket. Present this ticket with your wager to a keno writer or runner and you will receive a computer generated ticket in return.
These are the numbers, as registered in the computer, upon which all winners are paid.
When each game begins, the selected numbers will be displayed on keno boards located in the keno lounge and restaurants. Compare the numbers on your ticket with the numbers displayed on the keno boards.
