Keno is a casino game where you decide the odds

Many of us have been playing numbers games for years, with Bingo probably the best known and most played in Ireland. Then came the Lottery which gave us the opportunity to select potential winning numbers first weekly and now daily if we choose. Online casinos also provide us with bingo and lottery games, but they also offer other numbers games such as Keno. Keno is a relatively new casino game to many of us on this side of the Atlantic, but has been played in American casinos for many years, and is rapidly gaining in popularity over here. We have described the principles of Keno in our casino games pages, but basically the game of Keno requires us to select up to twenty numbers from a possible eighty, and the number of winning numbers which match those drawn determines the pay-out. The big difference between this casino game and most of the other numbers games available online, is that in Keno you can also increase the winning odds by selecting less than twenty numbers. For instance, if you choose to select just ten numbers you are likely to get less winning numbers overall, but each winning number will pay better odds. It all sounds very complicated, but the odds payable for each winning number are clearly displayed on the online casino graphics as you increase the number of your selections, so it is easy to decide how much risk you want to take and what odds you want to play for. If you’ve not played Keno before, give it a go in Free Play mode until you get the hang of it, we think you’ll find it’s easier than it looks and it’s certainly good fun and can be played for low stakes so that it won’t break the bank. If you like numbers games, Keno is available on most of our recommended online casinos so click on a link and have a go.
