Introduction To Keno

Keno is a game of chance based on the random selection of numbered balls, played at most casinos and similar to state lotteries that you may have played.

If you know how to play a state lottery, then you already know the basics of playing Keno.  Like the lottery, Keno involves betting on a single number or a set of numbers which you can choose as you wish, in the hope that your number or numbers will be selected in a random drawing.  The main difference between lottery and Keno is the variety of ways you can play it.  This offers much more enjoyment, and often many more wins, than any lottery.

The game of Keno uses 80 balls numbered 1 thru 80.  In every game, the house draws 20 balls at random and displays their numbers on screens, called Keno boards, located throughout the casino.  The object of the game is for you the player, to guess some or all of the numbers the house will draw. You make your guesses by marking a Keno ticket, a piece of paper with the numbers 1 thru 80 printed on it.

The Keno ticket is about 5 inches square, and on the face of it, is a printed grid of 80 numbers, divided into what is called the "top", containing 40 numbers, and the "bottom", containing the other 40 numbers.  Keno tickets are located at tables throughout the casino and in the casino's Keno lounge.  The casino provides a Keno crayon, which you use to mark your numbers.  Also you'll find the house's Keno brochures, giving you information about payoffs and various tickets you can play.  The payoffs vary from casino to casino, as well as for the number of choices made, and the number of those choices that actually hit.

The Keno lounge is a room or area with chairs to sit in and mark your tickets.  Keno writer windows are normally located in front of the lounge and you'll see the Keno hopper filled with 80 numbered balls, several dealers, video cameras and a large Keno board.

The game can be played from virtually anywhere on the casino property.  Keno runners, employees who take bets, circulate throughout all the areas of the casino and hotel to give you the chance to make a bet on each game.  Numerous television monitors keep you informed on the winning numbers.

Minimum bets can be as low as 5 cents, some casinos only accept bets of $1 or more.  Let's say you decide to play a $1.00 7-spot. Grab a blank Keno ticket, a crayon and cross out your 7 choices with a plain X.  On the right of the ticket write "$1" and beneath that the number "7" to indicate you a re playing a 7-spot.  Since you've already crossed out 7 numbers, it's kind of redundant to write "7" but this is used for cross checking by the dealer, as well as being important when playing fancy combination tickets.

Before you mark a ticket, you need to decide how much money you want to gamble on the ticket.  Near any stash of tickets you are likely to find several copies of the house's Keno brochure, which tells you what the standard bets and pay outs are.  At any point in time all casinos tend to have similar betting/payoff scales, but sometimes there are various "house specials" available.  For the sake of simplicity, let's assume for right now you avoid "specials".

The house's Keno brochure tells you what the standard bets and pay outs are.  Here is what a section from the brochure might look like.

Play 7 Numbers

Catch	Bet $1.00	Bet $5.00	Bet $10.00

7	$6,400.00	$32,000.00	$64,000.00

6	$325.00	$1,625.00	$3,250.00

5	$22.00	$110.00	$220.00

4	$1.50	$7.50	$15.00

3	$.50	$2.50	$5.00

The top line, "Play 7 Numbers" means this section of the brochure pertains to the payoffs you would be paid if you marked 7 numbers, also referred to as "spots".  If you play 7 numbers you are said to be "playing a 7-spot".

The term "Catch" refers to how many of your marked numbers match what the house draws. The term "Bet $1" means you bet $1 on your ticket.  As the table shows, you can bet $1, $5, $10 but in actuality you are allowed to play as much as you like.  Payoffs are scaled by the amount you bet.  In some cases your payoff actually decreases when you increase your bet because the house has an upper limit of how much money per game they will pay off.

As the payoff table shows, if you play 7 numbers and catch all 7, bet $1 will return $6,400.00.  If you only catch 6 numbers the payoff is substantially less, and so on, down to a $.50 payoff for catching any 3 of the 7 you selected. If you catch fewer than 3, your ticket is worthless.

Note that this payoff is on a "for" basis rather than a "to" basis, which means if you collect $1.50 for matching 3 numbers, you've already paid $1 for the ticket so you're "winning" $.50. Nevertheless it is standard Keno terminology to say you "won $2".

On a straight ticket you can mark from 1 to 15 numbers, just take a look at the brochure for other payoffs. The more numbers you mark the more you have to catch to win. The payoffs are set so that in dollar terms it doesn't make much difference how many numbers you mark. You will find some variety in the minimum payoff so you can to some extent choose if you want many small wins or fewer larger wins.

There is one good thing about Keno in a casino.  You can relax in the Keno lounge, an area with comfortable chairs and frequent visits by cocktail waitresses.  By simply betting the minimums, you can spend the day being catered to by the casino employees without losing your shirt.  At the most, six games are played each hour, so you can enjoy the casino atmosphere for a lot less than any other game.

Keno History

The game of Keno is one of the oldest and most fascinating games of chance ever to exist.  The first known public lottery is said to have been sponsored by Augustus Caesar to raise funds for repairing the city of Rome.

In 1530, a game resembling Keno, La Lotto de Firenze, began in Florence and spread like wildfire throughout Renaissance, Italy.  Popularity continued throughout the centuries and evolved into the Italian National Lottery in 1870.  Except for a few interruptions during war, the game has been played ever since.

Although Keno originated from lotto, it is identical in form with the Chinese lottery which had its start over 2000 years ago.  According to an ancient scroll, Cheung Leung introduced the game about 200 B.C., during the Han Dynasty.  Leung's city was at war for several years and this new form of lottery was created to raise funds for Cheung Leung province's failing army (with great success we might add). Eventually, the game spread throughout China and was also used to help fund the building of the "Great Wall".

Later on in China, a newer version of Keno was called White Pigeon Ticket.  The tickets were so named because of their illegal use.  Professional gamblers, rather than risk arrest themselves, used carrier pigeons to send tickets and winnings between office and customer.

The game was introduced to America in the mid-nineteenth century by the Chinese who worked the silver mines and helped build the transcontinental railroad.  The game quickly spread.  This early version was known as the "Chinese Lottery."

For some reason, Omaha, Nebraska became the Keno capital of the U.S.  But when gambling was banned in Nebraska, Nevada took over the game.  In 1931 when gaming was legalized in Nevada, one of the first games was Race Horse Keno.  The balls had a number on them and also featured a horse's name.

Today Keno is offered in virtually every casino jurisdiction.  Although many games are conducted electronically, Nevada Keno games still use ping pong balls being blown around in a large clear plastic sphere.  The balls are then forced into a "goose," an outlet which takes one ball at a time.  Keno lounges have the most modern equipment and feature various special types of tickets to entice more players.  Keno is now one of the most popular and enjoyable games in the gaming world.

Definition Of Shareware

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

The Copyright Owner will not be liable for any special, incidental, consequential, indirect or similar damages due to loss of data or any other reason, even if The Copyright owner or an agent of The Copyright Owner has been advised of the possibility of such damages.  In no event shall The Copyright Owner's liability for any damages ever exceed the price paid for the license to use the software, regardless of the form of the claim. The person using the software bears all risk as to the quality and performance of the software.
