The object of Keno is to bet on a single number or a set of numbers which can be selected in your favor, hoping that your number or numbers will be chosen in a random drawing of 80 balls.
The game can be played from almost everywhere on the casino property. Numerous television monitors keep you informed on the winning numbers. Mark your choices and the amount you wish to bet on a Keno ticket, located at tables throughout the casino and in the casino's Keno lounge.
Minimum bets can be as low as 5 cents, although some casinos only accept bets of $1 or more. The house's Keno rules provide you with information relating to payoffs and various tickets you can play.
The house draws 20 balls randomly and displays their numbers on screens, called Keno boards, throughout the casino. Keno runners, casino employees who take bets, circulate throughout all the areas of the casino to give you the chance to make a bet on each game. As many as six games are played each hour.
House advantage varies according to the keno game played, but it's always at least 30% or more. The chances of hitting one number in 80 is 0.25 percent. Keno is among the worst bets you can make.
