Win at Keno

Interested in those colourful balls with numbers! Yes we are speaking of Keno where you choose numbers like in a lottery.  You surely wish to win at Keno. Isn’t it!

Can you Improve your Odds in Keno

The short answer is – No.

Keno is simple “a game of luck”, numbers are drawn randomly much like lottery games, where the player has its chosen numbers and hope as many as possible match those randomly drawn by the glass machine.

To win at keno strategy plays a small role or almost no role at all. Let us know here how winnings at Keno are possible and the gaming experience more enjoyable.

Keno Odds

No worries at all. No one expects you to predict all 20 numbers. In fact, the odds of choosing the exact 20 winning numbers at the end of a keno game are so remote (as said above) that most casinos don’t even have a pay scale for correctly predicting all 20.

Since 20 out of 80 numbers will be selected at the end of the game, you have a 1 in 4 chance of being right if you select just 1 number on your keno card. If the casinos paid fairly, you would win $4 on a $1 wager (that’s your initial bet + $3 profit). Since you’re only going to be paid $3 for winning (your initial bet + $2 profit), you can see that the longer you play keno, the more money you are likely to lose.

Although the pay scales in keno vary from one casino to the next, the payouts are generally determined according to a risk-reward ratio that makes some kind of a sense. If you pick just one number on your card and it is one of the 20 numbers drawn at the end of the game, then you had 1 “catch” out of 1 attempt, and you should expect something like a 3-for-1 payout. If you picked 2 numbers and they both came up (for 2 catches out of 2 selections), then you could expect something like a 12-for-1 payout. If you choose 10 numbers and catch 6 of them, you’ll win more than the one who picked 10 and only caught 5.

On games where you’re playing 7 to 10 numbers, you’re playing to win a jackpot. If every number you choose comes up, you’ll win the jackpot. The jackpots increase with each game until they are won. You can check out Keno game screens for current jackpot amounts.

This is why people who play keno should stay away from all the imaginations and odd variations allowed by the casinos. The only good thing about keno is that each game happens far more slowly than a hand of blackjack or a round of pokies machine play. With keno, what the house gains in edge, it loses in efficiency (where efficiency is measured in the amount of dollars per second that leave your pocket). These variations allow you to make multiple wagers at once, so a single keno card can cost as much as you want to spend on it. If you insist on playing keno, it is good to have a simple bankroll and be slow as well as stick to it.

Picking the Numbers

In most of the Keno games there are 80 numbers to choose from, with 20 numbers being chosen in each drawing. It is not that you have to match all 20 in order to win the jackpot; but you choose the numbers you wish to pick before each drawing.

• The more numbers you select, the greater the payout but the less chance you have of hitting you minimum winning combination.
• Typically, selecting three spots in Keno gives you two winning combinations; 2 hits or 3 hits.
• With the odds of winning by selecting three spots on a Keno game being 1 in 20 your chances may be good but the potential gains are low.
• Selecting 10 spots gives you six possible winning combinations (5 hits, 6 hits, 7 hits, 8 hits, 9 hits and 10 hits) but a lower chance of getting a winning combination.
• The odds of winning on a 10-spot card are 1 in 253 but can deliver better returns.
• The probability of winning the jackpot (all twenty spots) are virtually impossible at 1 in 3.5 quintillion.
• Most Keno players stick to less than 10 spots per card with those wanting to play the best game of probabilities, playing 4,5 or 6 spot games. The odds of a win on this number of potential hits is around 1 in 5.

The best way to compute your odds is to say, after 20 numbers have been drawn, anyone number out of 80 has a 1 in 4 chance of being included in the winning set.

Any two numbers have a roughly 1 in 16 chance of being included in the winning set. Multiply each ratio by four as you add matching numbers. That gets you close to the correct probability.

Thus, the odds of any five numbers being included in the 20 drawn numbers are about 1 in 1550.

When experienced keno players look at the odds charts, they quickly settle on games like Pick 4, Pick 5, Pick 6, or Pick 7. They can live with matching three or four of those numbers. They’ll still win decent prizes while playing keno.

You don’t have to hit all your numbers to be a winner

Even if you are hitting just some of the numbers that you selected is usually enough to win some consolation prize. If you pick just one or two numbers, and you need to match them in order to score a prize. If you select 15 numbers, even matching just five numbers will be enough to earn your money back, while hitting ten or more will earn a big prize even if you can’t quite make it to the massive jackpot for matching all of your numbers.

As there is no way to win keno every single time you play. What you can do is to play with a clear strategy to increase your odds of winning.

The Odds and Bets when playing at online casinos

• The online version of the Keno offers much better odds than playing at land based casinos. Keno has one of the highest house edges in a live casino.
• While paytables vary tremendously depending on where you play, these games usually offer somewhere between a 60% and 80% return, meaning the house has an incredible 20-40% edge.
• Where as the online Keno version, the house edge is only 5-10%. This makes you have a better chance of winning each time you play.
• Your winning also depends upon other factors like how much you are willing to bet, In most of the online casino you can bet anywhere from $1 to $10 on each draw. If you bet the maximum of $10 and select 15 numbers, hitting all 15 will pay out an incredible $100,000. But that doesn’t mean that you have to bet at high stake always.
• You can also play fewer numbers and still win large prizes. Like hitting ten numbers out of ten selected will earn you $1,800 on a $1 bet or $18,000 on a $10 bet, and even hitting just seven numbers out of seven is worth 100 times your bet. Even if you pick just one number, you will win $3 if your number be selected.

Note that every casino can set its own keno rules. They can add progressive prizes or not. They can extend the number of spots available for wagers. Online casinos have the same flexibility. It really depends on where they get their gaming systems from.

Official lottery keno games are usually less flexible. That’s because they’re less focused on turning a big profit than the casinos.

The first thing you should do is see how easy it is for you to find new keno games without going on a world tour. You may have more options available to you than you realize. Each game has its own odds and prizes. Compare their charts and pick the chart you prefer for playing keno online.

Middle Spot Games

Anyone studying keno odds charts quickly realizes that the four, five, and six-spot games have the best odds of winning any prize. Some players prefer seven-spot games because the prizes are slightly better.

By limiting the number of spots to play to a small range, it’s easier to manage expectations. There are fewer probabilities to think about. The wagers all cost the same.

To be perfectly honest, there’s no serious hope of winning the jackpot in a 10-spot or 20-spot keno game. Savvy players aren’t looking for millions of dollars. They just want decent prizes.

The middle spot games offer the best risk-reward efficiency. Players are less likely to go broke than in other games and they’re more likely to win a prize than in other games.

Keno Progressives

Progressive games award random secondary jackpots when players hit certain combinations. Progressive betting is encouraged in pokies and keno but not in games like blackjack. If the player is required to contribute to a progressive jackpot, it’s better not to take that bet.

If the progressive jackpot is awarded from the game’s basic wager, then assume the prizes have already been calculated into the win ratio for the game. That’s usually acceptable in pokies and keno.

Therefore think of the progressive prize as increasing the prize. Unlike traditional lottery games such as Powerball and Mega Millions, keno jackpots don’t roll over from game to game. The number of players doesn’t affect the size of the prizes either.

Because keno prizes are awarded at a fixed rate, progressive keno games are preferred to standard keno games. Playing progressive games is one of many easy tricks to get the most out of keno.

Multiple Drawings Games

In casinos, you can buy a “multi-race card.” When you’re playing in government lotteries, they may be called “multiple drawings” or something else. The idea is simple. You pay for the next “X” games in advance. The venue decides how far in advance you can pay. It’s easier to track losses and winnings and to manage a budget by paying for games in advance.

Control over Speed

When you play online you have control over the speed of the drawings. While a live keno game might only offer a drawing every five or ten minutes, online drawings take place instantaneously whenever you feel like playing.

Playing offshore

Most often online casinos are companies running offshore. When you play Keno or any other games on offshore betting websites always look out for the terms and conditions and make sure your understand everything. Australian offshore casinos include Fair Go Casino, Emu Casino, Rich Casino, 7 Reels Casino, Mongoose Casino and more.

The lucky numbers in Keno

Again as said above it is to remember that winning at Keno is luck of chance. Therefore if you try to use a tool or know previous winning numbers is just a sheer chance that can click again.

In Australia and other parts keno draws happen once every 3-4 minutes. You can get a new set of lucky number every 2 or 3 seconds, by the count. Three seconds later and you have an entirely new set of “winning numbers“. Such number generator tools are just for fun and no winning tips.

Therefore the winning strategies of Keno game are not much practical.  As a Keno player you to take action according to your situation at play and possible prediction of upcoming changes.
