Keno With the Payout Table in Mind |
If you are at all familiar with the game of Keno, or
perhaps even just heard about Keno, there's a good
chance what you didn't hear was anything strategy
related. The reason being is that, well, there really is
no mathematical strategy for playing this lottery-style
casino game of chance. Makes sense, huh?
However, try
telling that to a Keno-head (somebody who really,
really, really loves their Keno). Keno no doubt has a
cult following at many land-based casinos, and
admittedly, keno in a brick 'n mortar lounge or even a
casino restaurant creates an experience that online keno
simply cannot. However, internet keno still draws in the
crowds and is a stock game to be found at any online
casino these days.
As mentioned, there is no
mathematical strategy to help improve you odds of
winning the big keno jackpot. The one thing you must
certainly do is be willing to bet some money. In other
words, if you want to win big, you are going to have to
spend big. This is precisely why many people shy away
from keno and put it off as a sucker bet.
While the game
of Keno can certainly return an alarmingly high Casinos
Edge, it can be kept in check with some smart and
informed bankroll management and betting patterns. This
process starts with picking the "correct number of
spots", err, numbers on the Keno ticket.
Keep this in
mind: The more spots you pick, the more numbers you will
need to draw to break even on your bet. In general, it
is advised to pick fewer numbers. But if you have a big
bankroll and like to take big risks, betting on more
numbers may just pay off down the road.
Whatever you
choose to do with your money while playing Keno, just be
sure to study the payout table beforehand. One of the
more popular payout tables is one that pays $1 on three
matching numbers of an eleven-spot $1 ticket. In other
words, to break even you would need to hit three
numbers. Even better is a payout table that offers a
$.50 return for hitting two correct numbers. 7-spot
tickets are also popular with players who want a nice
middle ground in putting their bankroll at risk.
