Keno history dates all the way back to the days of ancient China. Although there are still a number of questions regarding the actual history of Keno, according to most accounts, this lottery-type game was invented during China's Han Dynasty, which occurred between 205 and 187 BC.

Bored with playing the same online casino game? Well, why not give Keno a try? After all, the rules are simple and you can commence playing (and winning) right now. That is, of course, once you know the rules and how the game is played.

To play, Keno players are required to pick from 1 to 15, or 1 to 20, numbers. How many a player may select varies from casino to casino. Participants then mark their numbers on their Keno ticket which comprises 80 numbers from 1 to 80. The casino then randomly selects 20 numbers. Players are paid out against their original wager based on how many matching numbers they marked on their Keno ticket. It's that simple!

Keno is similar to both lotteries and bingo, and enjoyed by players visiting land-based and online casinos alike. In Keno, the goal is for each player to guess which numbers from 1 to 80 will be selected at random by the Keno machine. With each game played, players choose 1 to 10 numbers (between 1 & 80) and place their betting amount. The Keno machine then randomly selects 20 winning numbers; while players hope (and pray) they have as many matches as possible from the numbers selected by the Keno machine. The number of matches is highlighted & payouts are rewarded according to the number of matches.

Welcome to Casino VIP Lounge's section on Keno strategies. We hope you will find the following information helpful.

Keno is a game of pure luck, so there's not a whole lot of strategy you can employ that will help increase your chances of winning. The numbers are chosen randomly so, rationally speaking, no numbers which are drawn have any relation to numbers drawn previously. Although it sounds strange, if you select five numbers on a ticket, there's no greater chance of seeing 9, 21, 35, 38, 57 come up, than seeing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Each number has the exact same chance of being drawn as any other number.

Keno was originally introduced in China many years ago and is similar to a lottery. The game was brought to the United States in the mid 1800s by the Chinese immigrants who came to work in the mines and on the railroad. It's a very popular game and quite easy to play. It's an exciting pastime and, most importantly, it offers players the chance of winning big payouts on relatively small wagers.

There's also the video version of Keno which are coin-operated machines similar slots. The game is played along the same principle and rules of the regular Keno , but players receive the results much faster.

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."
