Keno

Keno is a unique and easy gambling game with a history that can be traced back to a Chinese game called "The Game of the White Dove" invented during the Han Dynasty (187 BC).

Playing Keno is a lot like playing your local lottery. Each player is given a ticket (the Keno board) with a total of 80 numbers on it. The object of the game is to predict as many of the 20 numbers which are selected each round as possible. The numbers are selected randomly by computer, and the player can choose to bet on anywhere between 1 and 10 numbers that he or she believes will come up. When a player's number matches a number selected at random by the computer, it's referred to as a "Hit."

The payoff in a game of Keno depends on how much you wager, which, with online casinos , can range anywhere from 25 cents to $5. (The maximum wager allowed in most online casino is $5). Other important determining factors include how many numbers you select each game (between 1 and 10) and, naturally, how many of these numbers become "Hits."

A round of Keno begins by choosing the numbers you want on the Keno board. Depending on the casino, you may be given the option to have the computer choose 10 random numbers for you, should you wish. When you have selected a number, it is highlighted. To de-select a number, simply click on it again. You'll see your potential payoff in one corner of your screen as you choose your numbers. After you've decided how many and which numbers you want to play, by clicking the appropriate button, you can decide how much money you wish to bet.

Next you can choose how many rounds of Keno you'd like to play by clicking on either "Play One," "Play Five," or "Play Ten." Again, different online casinos offer different options including how many games you can set to play automatically.

After each game of Keno, your results are displayed on your computer screen. To continue playing the same numbers in a new game, all you have to do is click on the "Play One," "Play Five," or "Play Ten" buttons again, or a "Repeat Bet" button, depending on which online casino you're playing at.

Keno is not a game requiring any particular skill. And as such, your best strategy would be to simply enjoy yourself. And if you DO happen to win money, well, that's okay too. Have fun!
