Keno

A lottery draw at casino speed. Enormous top prizes and the widest margin on the site.

The size of the payout. Ten numbers hitting is a life-changing ticket for pocket change.

How to play it well

The decisions that actually move the number, and the version of the game worth looking for.

  1. Pick fewer numbers for better odds of a hit, more numbers for the bigger headline payouts.
  2. Paytables vary enormously between operators — from about 20% to 35% margin on the same-looking game.
  3. There is no strategy. Numbers drawn previously tell you nothing about numbers drawn next.
  4. Ticket prices are low, which is why the margin is easy to miss.
  5. If you play it, play it the way you would play a lottery: small, occasional, for the size of the prize.

Same game, same stake: 2 hr of play against 1 hr 26 min. Worth two minutes checking which table you are on.

Keno is the most expensive game in the casino and it is not a close contest. House edges run from about 20% to 35% depending on the operator and the number of spots played.

For comparison: European roulette is 2.70%. A typical slot is 4%. Keno takes a quarter of everything that passes through it. There is no version of it that is competitive with anything else on this site, no strategy that improves it, and no pay table that rescues it.

It is included here for the same reason a menu includes prices. The game is slow and cheap to enter, which is why it does not feel like what it is.

Things worth knowing

  • Pay tables varying from 20% to 35% between operators
  • The slow pace disguising how much each ticket actually costs
  • Any suggestion that picking numbers differently changes anything
