Once you understand the rules of keno, playing the game is straightforward and simple. We have created a few short steps to follow, and your game should run smoothly if you follow these steps.
1. Receive your keno card – In casinos, keno cards are usually found in specific keno lounges. The numbers on the card/ticket you receive will match the numbers in the aerated keno machine.
2. Select your keno numbers of choice and mark them on your card – You will now start filling out the numbers you wish to bet on. Each of the numbers you select is called a keno spot. Your card will be arranged with 8 rows and 10 keno spots. The card will specify how many numbers you are allowed to choose, depending on the variant of the game you are playing.
3. Choose your betting amount and how many games you wish to play – Each keno card offers you the option of playing multiple games with the same chosen numbers. You also have the option of multiplying your betting amount to increase your winning total if your spots are selected. You will make your decisions and indicate your choices of your keno card.
4. Hand your keno card in – Once you have selected your numbers, hand your card to an official who will factor your numbers into the next game played. You will receive an electronic copy of your keno card, so you can follow the game as the numbers are called out.
5. Wait for the keno machine to determine your results – Look out for the electronic boards placed around the venue you are playing at for the results of the game to be shown. Match the numbers on the screen displayed to the numbers on your ticket. If you have a match, you win. How much money you will win will depend on the numbers chosen as well as how much you wagered.
6. Declare your winnings – If you have a winning number, call a keno worker over to receive your payout. Select an electronic keno card to verify your matches and receive your payout.
