How to Play Keno in Las Vegas
On any Keno game you can pick from 1 to 20 numbers. and mark them on a keno ticket of 80 numbers (see below).
The player then takes the card to a keno writer and places a bet that the numbers selected will be among the 20 drawn in the next game.
After the 20 numbers are draw at random, winning tickets are paid according to a table that varies from casino to casino.
The player is paid out against his original wager based on how many numbers match the ones he marked on his ticket. For example, a four-spot ticket with $1 wagered might return the $1 if two numbers hit, bring $5 if three numbers hit, and pay $120 if all four come in. But in another casino, the three-number hit might pay $6 and all four $125, and in another the payoffs might be $5 and $110. Because of the variation, no payback percentage is common enough to be called average. Paybacks range from below 70 percent to more than 80 percent.
