Keno is basically a lottery. If you are familiar with lotto, your are familiar with most aspects of Keno. A
player buys a ticket with numbers from 1 to 80 and then marks anywhere from one to twenty numbers on
their ticket. A keno machine then randomly draws 20 numbers from the 80 possible, and numbers are
displayed on the Keno board.
A "catch" is a number the player picks and is drawn by the casino. A "miss" is a number the player picked
but was not drawn by the casino. The player is paid according to the number of picks made and catches.
That’s all there is to the game
Probabilities in Keno
If the player just picks one number, from 1 to 80. and if one of the 20 numbers drawn by the casino
match the player’s number then the player wins. The probability of winning is 20/80 ( 25%)
If the player picks 2 numbers the casino must draw both of them for the player to win. There is no
consolation prize for only catching one. The odds are nearly 17-1 against that happening.
If you pick three numbers, the odds are 72-1 against those three numbers catching.
Four numbers: 325-1.
Five numbers: 1,550-1.
Six numbers: 7,750-1.
10 numbers. The odds of all 10 of those numbers showing up among the 20 drawn by the house are one
in 8.9 million.
There are 3,535,316,142,212,180,000 ways the casino can draw 20 numbers out of 80.
Thus the probability of hitting all 20 numbers in Keno is one in 3,535,316,142,212,180,000, or 3.5
quintillion to one. Assuming five billion people all played once a week, there would be one winner every
13.56 million years on average
House Odds
There is no strategy in keno, -- unless you consider playing your birthday, the combined ages of your
kids or any other random numbers a strategy. You just pick your numbers and take your chances --
against the worst house odds in all of gambling.
In baccarat the house edge is a little more than 1 percent. In blackjack, the house edge is anywhere
from 0.5 percent to 6 percent. In roulette, it's 5.26 percent.
In a fair game of video poker, the house edge is 1 or 2 percent, if you play smart. Slots can have a
house edge of as little as 1 percent.
In Keno typically, the house advantage is anywhere from 25 to 50 percent.
Keno is not the game for you if you’re looking for a “big win” However, if you're just looking for some
relaxing fun you can enjoy a game of Keno at these Online Bingo Rooms
