I like and play single line DDB, DB, and TDB, in that order.  For a break , I like to play Keno or the slots, although I am new to Keno and not very good at it.

There is not much skill involved in playing Keno, it is a pure luck game. Pay attention to the paytables, quarter/dollar denominations are usually better than nickel ones.

I see people picking numbers by the block, 31-34 41-44, or 1-10, or 1,11,21,31,41,51,61,71 and they still win big from matching all or 1 less than what they chose.

Usually the 4-spot or 7-spot offers the best Expected Return / Variance. I try to put numbers on 3 rows since more than 80% of the time, 11 out of 20 numbers selected are within 3 rows.

I play the Caveman Keno on IGT Game King in the past, it has low variance to keep you in the game longer than other keno games.

Thank you!  I will be in LV this weekend so I will have the opportunity to try out your tips.  I don't go to win, but more to relax, have a few drinks, and get away from the craziness at work.

My absolute favorite is Multi Strike poker. Not many machines in casinos but I know where to find them.
