Playing anything but 20 card Keno is hard after you get used to so many good hits in one draw .
Nothing compares to multi card keno .

After playing many thousands upon thousands of hands of Multi Hand Video Keno I am more convinced than ever that the machine knows what numbers you have picked and is programmed to avoid them. We are sucked into believing that more games increases our odds of winning but it is just an illusion. The odds of hitting a 7 out of 7 are more than 1 in 41,000 so while that 7 Spot pattern may look so good to us there are many thousands of ways to miss it. The Illusion is the Casinos advantage over us.

is keno the same as a slot machine? I cant understand why people sit and watch the numbers fall when there’s no interaction at all. so is it like a basic slot? there aren’t any strategies that will improve the probability of winning are there? video poker at least gives you a mathematical schedule to work with. but I know less than zero about keno…

I assume there's a hypnotic effect because it's so repetitious.

Not the way people usually think about it, as in lucky numbers or patterns. But game selection is important. Ideally you want a 95% pay schedule. And slot club benefits enhance the effective payback, so it's useful to be aware of point values and promotions.

That was a well thought out reply Dinghy. Good advice.

Thanks case.

Video poker players are often accustomed to getting the short end of the comp stick. Keno players are usually more valued by the casinos.
