Keno is one of the varieties of lotto. This is a very exciting, interesting and at the same time easy to learn game.

In online casinos, when playing keno, there are opportunities that are not available in conventional casinos. So, you can arrange the numbers not by yourself, but the computer will do it. The same numbers can participate in the game an unlimited number of times, you can set the computer to the number that the selected set of numbers will play.

Keno strategy that works

The bet in keno does not depend on the number of selected numbers, i.e. choosing the required number of numbers, the player is guided only by the coefficients. So, if you select only two numbers, then if one number matches, the bet is multiplied by one, and if all two numbers match, the bet is multiplied by nine.

When choosing ten numbers, the winning coefficient will be equal to 10,000, i.e. if all ten numbers match, the bet will be multiplied by 10,000. But you must take into account the fact that when choosing 10 numbers, the minimum number of matches must be 5 numbers, i. if out of 10 numbers only 4 numbers match, the player will get nothing.

Despite the fact that keno is one of the most unprofitable online games (its return most often fluctuates between 71-75%), it is still possible to contribute a little to success in it. For this purpose, a strategy developed by the famous mathematician Alan Kriegman is used. This combination calculation system is not a guarantee of winning, but only affects the gambler's advantage over the casino.

To begin with, we will try to understand how many numbers are most profitable to bet on. Simple probability theory demonstrates that the chance of getting two numbers out of two is lower than even one out of five chosen. In the first case, it is about 6%, in the second - 40.5%. However, the costs at a rate of 5 out of 80 will be significantly higher. Therefore, if you decide to take a risk, do it on small backs. Bingo is not a very good option for getting a solid bankroll - here those who act slowly and do not invest to the maximum are in the black.

The keno betting strategy

In some casino games, such as blackjack, additional side bets, also known as side bets, can be placed in addition to the normal bet. They should serve as a supplement to the main game and provide more variety. The Keno rules do not allow for this option.

You won't find side bets or side bets in keno, but there are occasionally very specific betting options that could be interesting and worth taking a closer look at.

Left, Right, Up or Down

This type of play is similar to Upper/Down Card, in which a player bets on half of the numbers. Sometimes you can make the guess with the numbers you like instead of limiting the choices to above or below. The RTP on this type of Keno game is around 67%.

Edge

In an edge bet, the player picks all 32 numbers on the outer edge of the keno card. This means for you that you have to choose a total of 32 numbers on a standard keno card. You win if between 1 and 6 or more than 9 of the numbers typed are drawn. The payout percentage in this game is 55%.

Different Keno variants

In addition to the different options for bets and combinations that I explained above, there are also different variants of keno at online providers and in arcades. They relate in part to popular casino games and offer more variety. I will now introduce you to some of the most popular ones and provide information about the individual keno games.

Keno Poker

In Keno Poker, all cards drawn are given a random rank and suit. After all the numbers have been drawn, players of this variant have the opportunity to bet on the hand received in a poker game. This form of keno is for fans who like to mix and match different game categories.

Instant bingo

The only difference between instant bingo and the keno game rules is that in this variant a player can reverse the order of the numbers on the card. This gives him a random selection of numbers and brings the game closer to bingo.

Keno Roulette

The game of Keno Roulette follows the basic rules. The only difference is how the numbers or balls are drawn. Instead of using a machine specially designed for keno, a roulette wheel is used to draw the numbers. The winning numbers are determined in a slightly more unusual way than in the usual keno games.

Keno with extra draw

In the Keno variant with an extra draw, after the 20 numbers have been determined, an extra draw is held. Players can place a side bet on the number. If you guess this number correctly, you win regardless of how the outcome of the main game ended for you.

Keno playing tips

Sitting down at the gaming table, whether it's keno or any other online game, it's worth doing a few things (unless, of course, you want to lose both your winnings and your account):

Carefully study the information about the casino: the presence of a license (not just the name of the regulator, but a number by which you can check the status of the document), how long it has been operating, news (unlike reviews, which can be custom-made, the media will demonstrate the real reputation of the institution), a list of manufacturers in the collection (many names indicate the seriousness of the operator - contracts are concluded with him), official RTP games (of course, in reality, the return may be different, but the certificate will demonstrate that the products are licensed and not copied).

Pay attention to the quality of graphics and functionality: an unscrupulous resource is rarely well done (why seriously invest in something that was created only for the sake of deception?).

Read the User Agreement and the rules of the game itself (even being guided by logic, you can break something and lose everything you earn).

Set a maximum limit (how much you can afford to lose in a day/week/month) and stick to it strictly. It is better to do this in advance, because during the game you will be possessed by excitement. In addition, many gamblers believe that an "almost" combination will lead to further winnings, and in the absence of restrictions, this almost always leads to a complete zeroing of the account.
