All the top half 7&8s hit. None of the bottom half 7&8s. You played the right half

Just can’t seem to win much on Keno. Not sure if I should play more numbers or less numbers. Never have won a jackpot. Any suggestions?

See the ball, be the ball.....

I have found that on this site you can play the same numbers on multi cards and win, but at the casinos you loose your money faster

Yes, I usually group my numbers together. I won $1400 on April 8th, 4 card keno at Smith's Grocery store. About 2 wks ago won $2100 regular keno at Chevron Gas Station, numbers grouped together. You don't have to be on the strip or the bigger casinos to win in Las Vegas. My biggest wins have been at the smaller neighborhood spots. Only paying .40 cents per hand, about $20 - 40 max.

I play a video IGT game 20 card Keno its pay schedule is on a dime betting 4 dimes full credits is 3216 on a five spot 6000 on a six spot 28000on a 7 spot and 40,000 on an 8 spot my qusetion is what pay back is this and is it a good one to play.??

Those pays are probably between 90 and 91%. Not ideal.

Here are the pays from this site's practice games (1 coin bet):



These pays are all 94.9% or slightly higher from the 5 spot to the 8 spot. This is what you want to find at your casino.

I personally have a system, but it's just to test my skills and challenge myself. Once I feel ready or have enough bankrolled, I'll shoot for the Big Kahunas with the 20 card or the U1 Keno games The most I've won was $570 on circus Keno, believe it or not, playing the Dottys bartenders' numbers (of course after a $100 deposit) still, not too shabby .... Anyways, my system is, I start off at nickels, once I hit 5/5, I go to dimes and hit there, then quarters, and if I'm still kicking, I increase my numbers from 5-7 or shoot for the progressive. I stop when I win in all denoms (usually stopping at quarters), or when my Keno Allotted Amount is exhausted. When it comes to choosing my numbers, I always play the persons numbers already on the card a few rounds, then choose my " go to "spots. I generally stick to shapes, but I've been just repositioning the shapes in different spots. When I first started playing Keno I would easily hit in all denoms. Nowadays, I'll be lucky getting 5 out of 5 off of nickels on a Fourcard. For the most part, I usually start off playing Cleopatra to quickly bankroll my challenge, then work my way up to FourCard. Again before people start throwing out the obvious, "Why don't you just shoot for the quarter or dollar denoms?" Well, I first challenge myself to bankroll this off of only $5-$50, plus, the prize is soo much sweeter when you get there off of a $5 sometimes even $1 initial investment. All in good fun, again this is just my Part Time job, just Supplemental Income...... LOL
