What is Keno
Keno is easy to
learn and fun to play. It is one of the oldest games played in
modern casinos and almost certainly the one that has undergone the
least change. Keno is played in much the same fashion as most
national and state lotteries around the world.
The concept
is very simple. There is a large Keno board with numbers from one
(1) to eighty (80). In a basket, wire cage or plastic bubble there
are balls numbered from one (1) to eighty (80). Twenty of the balls
are drawn randomly and it is up to the player to predict which
numbers will be drawn and to place a bet on as many as fifteen of
those numbers. A player may choose to bet on any number of 'spots'
(up to 15) for the price of one ticket. The price of the ticket is
not dependent on the number of spots chosen. The more spots the
player correctly predicts the higher the payout.
Keno Features
Keno's
interface is quite simple.
Use the Chip Size menu to
change the amount you are wagering per ticket.
The Keno
Ticket is the large grid of numbers that dominates the play area
of the Keno game. On it you will find the numbers 1 through 80. Left
click on the Keno ticket to select a number. It will be highlighted.
To deselect the number left click again. You can select up to
fifteen numbers.
The Clear button removes all
currently selected numbers.
The Undo reverses the
effects of the last Clear. Press the Play button to start a
game of Keno once you are finished selecting your numbers.
Playing the Game
Playing Keno
is easy.
Use your mouse to select up to fifteen 'spots' on
the Keno ticket and then press the Play button.
The
game will begin. As numbers are drawn they will be shown to you. If
you have successfully predicted a number your keno ticket will
change to reflect this. When all twenty numbers have been drawn you
will be paid out according to the payout schedule and can play
again.
Payout Schedule
The Pay Out
Schedule for Keno is dependent on the number of 'spots' chosen by
the player.
Below is the table showing the payout schedules
for the various numbers of 'spots' chosen

The first column indicates the number of catches. This is
cross-referenced to the number of spots selected that is indicated
by the other fifteen columns.
To use the table, look across
the top for the number of 'spots' you chose, then follow that column
down to the row where it crosses the number of catches you made. The
number at the intersection of the row and column is the payout ratio
you will receive. The presence of a '-' indicates no pay out as does
a 0.
For example:
6 catches off eleven spots will
pay out six times your initial bet.
2 catches off eleven spots
will pay out half your initial bet.
5 catches off six spot will
pays out thirty times your initial bet.
Refresh
If you are playing for
real money then, when you open the game after logging on, the Keno
ticket and results from the previous game should be displayed. If
you were disconnected from the casino's server mid-game you will be
able to see the result of your bet (how many 'catches' you made)
when you return to the game. If the casino's server did not receive
your bet, your balance will not have been reduced and you will see
the result of your previous bet.
If you are using an
evaluation or guest account then you will not see results of the
previous game. Your balance will have been correctly adjusted but
all other information concerning the previous game will not be
provided.
