Understanding Keno Odds
Keno odds depend on the number of spots selected and how many of them are hit. Typically, the more numbers chosen, the larger the potential payout, but the lower the probability of hitting all the numbers. It is strategic to choose a number of spots that balance the odds and potential payout.
Choosing Keno Numbers
In Keno, there is no statistical advantage in selecting any particular set of numbers, as each draw is independent of the previous draws. However, some players prefer to stick to the same numbers (called 'lucky numbers'), or they change them each game for variety.
Keno Variants
Various Keno variants exist, such as Power Keno, Super Keno, and Combination Keno, each with different rules and payouts. It's important to familiarize yourself with the specific variant you are playing to understand the best strategic approach to take.
Playing Progressive Keno
Progressive Keno games have a jackpot that increases progressively with each game played until it is won. Playing progressive Keno might involve a larger potential payout, but the odds of winning big are typically lower.
Number of Spots to Pick
The number of spots to pick in Keno varies by preference. While picking fewer numbers improves your chances of hitting them all, it usually results in lower payouts. Conversely, picking more numbers increases the potential jackpot but reduces the chance of hitting all the numbers.
Understanding the Pay Table
The pay table in Keno shows the potential payouts based on the numbers picked and the number of matches. Understanding the pay table is crucial to making informed decisions about how many numbers to pick and what kind of winnings to expect.
Using Multi-Race Cards
Multi-race cards allow Keno players to use the same set of numbers for multiple games, which can save time and effort. Strategically, it's convenient for those who prefer to stick with a specific set of numbers over several games.
Play for Free to Learn
Many online casinos offer free versions of Keno. Playing for free is an excellent way to familiarize yourself with the game's mechanics and develop a strategy without risking real money.
The Importance of Bankroll Management
Proper bankroll management is crucial in Keno to ensure that you can play as many games as you wish without running out of funds quickly. This means setting a budget and sticking to it, rather than chasing losses with larger bets.
Keno 'Cold' and 'Hot' Numbers
Some players track the numbers that have been drawn frequently ('hot') or infrequently ('cold') over a period. However, every draw in Keno is independent, and past draws have no bearing on future draws, so this strategy is founded on a gambler's fallacy.
