Keno is a
unique and easy game that's very similar to playing your
local lottery. Each player receives a ticket (the Keno
board) with a total of 80 numbers on it, and the object
of the game is to predict as many of the 20 numbers that
are selected each round as possible. The computer, incidentally,
selects these numbers randomly, 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 chosen at random
by the computer, it's called a "Hit." The
payoff in a game of Keno depends on
whether you choose "Bet $1," "Bet $3,"
or "Bet $5." (The maximum bet in most online
casinos is $5). Other important determining factors
include: how many numbers you select each game (between
1 and 10) and, of course, how many of these numbers
become "Hits."
You begin a game by designating the numbers you want
on the Keno board. You are usually
given the option to have the computer choose a random
10 numbers for you, if you prefer. This should be a
button labeled "Automatic Deal 10 Numbers."
When you have selected a number, it turns green. If
you want to de-select a number, just click on it again.
You'll see your potential payoff in one corner of the
screen as you choose your numbers.
After you've decided how many numbers you wish to play,
it's time to choose whether you want to bet $1, $3,
or $5. Click on the appropriate button and you'll see
your potential payoff this time adjusting accordingly
in the corner of your screen.
Next you can choose how many games of Keno
you'd like to play by clicking on either "Play
One," "Play Five," or "Play Ten."
After each game of Keno, you can see
your results on the left side of your screen. You can
click on each game to get detailed information on each
game you play. To keep playing the same numbers in a
new game, click on "Repeat Bet."
