“Keno” is a term used for “Chinese Lottery” and it’s a game quite similar to the more popular games Lotto and Bingo. Even so, Keno has become widely famous throughout the world in the past years. The thing that attracts those passionate about Keno games is that they have the chance to win $100,000 by betting only $1.

Play Keno online

Keno can be played both online and in the real world. The greatest advantage in playing Keno online is that you have an endless number of lottery tickets you can use, compared to the real life where your excitement depends on the number of tickets you have. This is the main reason why people are encouraged to play Keno online.

The rules are simple

Whether you want to play free Keno or to make some real money out of it, there are some simple rules you need to know.

• There’s a board that contains numbers from 1 to 80
• Bet on 1-20 numbers (also known as “spots)
• 20 numbers are picked randomly and the more they match the numbers you chose, the more you win.

When playing online Keno, the more numbers you choose, the higher the bet, but also the higher the chances for you to win in case you have more “catches” (matched numbers)

Professional tips

Before even playing free Keno games, you should prepare for playing multiple matches in a very short span of time, as Keno is highly known to be a fast-paced game. You should also know that there are several bets:

• Straight ticket – select the numbers and wait for the set of numbers to be drawn
• Combination ticket – mix groups of different straight bets on one single ticket, but in various ways
• Split ticket – play at least two games on the same card
• Way ticket – bet on more groups of numbers, but all on the same card (this is also known as the most complex Keno betting form)
• King ticket – a different version of way ticket

Play today and hit the bonuses

Most online casinos reward players who play online Keno and who manage to hit all numbers with high jackpots, although remember that there are very low chances for this to happen. But don’t feel discouraged, as you can still win great sums of money by hitting 90% of the numbers.
