A Guide To Playing Casino Keno

Keno is essentially a fast-paced, continuous lottery game hosted directly inside the casino environment.


Despite its slow pace, hitting a massive Keno ticket can result in some of the largest payouts in the casino.

Understanding the Keno Board

In a physical casino, you mark these spots with a crayon on a paper ticket and hand it to a "runner."


The more spots you select and successfully catch, the exponentially higher your final payout will be.

Minimum bets are usually incredibly low, often just $1Catching 10 out of 10 spots often triggers a massive jackpotYou can place complex "Way" bets to cover multiple number groupings
Why Keno is a High-Risk Game

The casino's mathematical advantage in a standard Keno game frequently hovers between 20% and an astonishing 30%.


The massive house edge exists because the true odds of catching all your numbers are astronomically low.

Strategies and Bankroll Management

Therefore, the only true "strategy" in Keno is incredibly strict and disciplined bankroll management.


It is best played passively while eating dinner at the casino restaurant or relaxing in the lounge with a drink.
