The player has to select numbers (also called "spots") he wish to bet on and then wait for the draw. The objective is to have as many matches as possible. The more matches you have, the bigger your payout will be.
The amount of numbers you select influences whether or not you will have a winning ticket and how much your payout will be. For example, if you select five numbers and three come up you could get a payout of 3 to 1, whereas if you got all five numbers you could get $322 dollars paid back to you.
Keno strategy , odds and payouts
There are very little strategies to help you increase your odds to win in Keno. This is because the winning numbers are chosen randomly.
However, If you follow these simple tips you can increase your chances of winning:
Play with more than one keno card – increase your chances of a winning ticket by playing with multi-cards, instantly giving you potentially more success.
Play your numbers in patterns instead of spreading them out all over.
keep your numbers the same no matter what they are until you win large with them. You will most certainly come out ahead at least one time. Because the odds of hitting any particular combination are the same, if you play the same numbers you increase the odds of hitting them.
Regarding the Keno odds, it relates to the probability of predicting a certain number of numbers correctly. The probability is calculated using a complicated formula that is based on the total numbers on the ticket ,the number of number drawn,which varies between 10 and 20 from casino to casino, the number of numbers selected by the player and the number of numbers correctly predicted. The probability is determined mathematically and does not vary from casino to casino. For example, in a normal game of 80 numbers from which 20 are drawn, the odds of getting 5 right from a selection of 10 is about 1:20. The odds of getting 5 right from a selection of 15, is about 1:5.5.
Keno odds tell half the story. The other half is told by how much the casino pays out on each occasion. This payout differs from casino to casino because of the house edge, which each casino decides on its own. The casino reduces the theoretical payout based on the odds by the house edge it wants to keep.
