Keno was very much an American game believed to have been introduced by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century and it is still very actively played in the American casinos today. The online casino games of Keno are different from the games played in live casinos as it is not possible to play permutations but on the other hand there are a lot more possible variations of the game which can be played. Traditional Keno has 80 numbers on a board from which you can choose anything up to 15 and 15 numbers are drawn with the idea being to match as many of your chosen numbers to those drawn as possible; the more you can match the greater the payout. The payout is also affected by how many of the 80 numbers you have selected in the first instance. Quite clearly your chances of matching for example 6 numbers when you have selected 15 is far greater than if you had selected only 8 and this is reflected in the odds. It is exactly this sort of variation that enables you to adjust your betting to suit your self going for either high odds or low odds. In addition different online casinos offer some different games for example Ladbrokes, Paddy Power and BetFred offer what they call Bingo Keno where there are 90 numbers to choose from instead of the standard 80 and Party Casino offer “Safecracker Keno” which uses the standard 80 numbers but you are only allowed to choose a maximum of 10 of them but 20 numbers are drawn instead of the standard 15. As you can see there is plenty of choice at online Keno and it is a great quick game ad is often played at the same time as Bingo whist waiting for a new game to begin.
