The game of Keno is very similar to the local lottery.  The game has been played in China for century’s but it was first introduced in Europe and the Americas in the early 1800’s.  Keno has become very popular throughout the world because it is very easy to play and players have a chance at big prizes by betting small amounts.

In the game of Keno the player is required to select 4 – 10 numbers between 1 – 80.  Each selected number is called a ‘spot’, therefor if a player selects 6 numbers this is referred to as a ‘6 Spot Game’.  To select the ‘spot’ numbers the player must make his or her selection on a keno ticket, or on the keno screen.  After the player has selected the ‘spot’ numbers, the round which is also known as the ‘race’ will commence by 20 numbered balls being drawn from the keno machine that contains 80 numbered balls.  If enough of the players ‘spot’ numbers are drawn from the machine the player wins.

The amount of keno winnings varies from casino to casino, and increases/ decreases according to the number of ‘spots’ selected.  It is always suggested that players read the rules before playing, which are always posted in the casino or made available online.  The rules will always explain how winnings are paid, and the maximum and minimum wager amounts
