Keno Basics
Keno is likely a remarkably easy casino game to play. Keno works somewhat like a
lottery. You can pick up to 10 numbers from 1 to 80. The casino will then
randomly draw twenty winning numbers, and if the numbers you picked match the
numbers drawn, the game is won. Depending on the number of spots you picked you
can also win on a partial match, though the payouts are significantly less than
if all numbers are caught. Your winnings depend on how much you bet and how many
numbers you picked and matched.
The following payout chart is used by most casinos:

If an entry in the chart is blank, the winning amount is zero for the
marked/caught combination. Your total winnings are the quantity of credits bet
multiplied by the number in the chart.
For example, using the above chart if you
bet two dollars, mark six spots and catch four spots, the payout is ten. You
would win 2 x 10 = 20 dollars.
