Live Keno
Live Keno is a game similar to the lottery. But due to the game's house edge, which can run 25 percent or higher, this game is not a good game to bet on.
Moreover, the game is based on pure luck. There are no strategies that can influence the outcome to go your way. And the odds for drawing any number of spots doesn't change, the house edge comes from the payout for the winning numbers which varies from casino to casino.
Learn to Play Keno
A player marks anywhere from 1 through 20 numbers on a card that has 80 numbers arranged in eight rows of ten. The player then takes the card to a keno writer and places a bet that the numbers selected will be among the 20 drawn in the next game. Alternatively, the player sitting in one of the casino restaurants can mark a card and give it with a bet to a keno runner, who takes it to the keno writer and then brings back the ticket. The bet is in multiples of the house minimum - usually $1 nowadays.
After the 20 numbers are drawn, winning tickets are paid according to a table that varies from house to house. For example, a four-spot ticket with $1 wagered might return the $1 if two numbers hit, bring $5 if three numbers hit, and pay $120 if all four come in. But in another casino, the three-number hit might pay $6 and all four $125, and in another the payoffs might be $5 and $110. Because of the variation, no payback percentage is common enough to be called average. Paybacks range from below 70 percent to more than 80 percent.
