The popular Keno game

For those gambling addicts who prefer lotteries, Keno is the perfect solution. For them, there is an exciting online lottery game called Keno.

The historical route of this lottery takes us back to ancient China. It is believed to be the birthplace of the game, which is over two decades old. In fact, it was one of the first state lotteries. The head of the Han dynasty, Shun, who ruled at the time, persuaded his countrymen of the benefits of such an investment. He invited them not only to pay taxes, but also to channel part of the funds to obtain likely lottery winnings. In those days there were more than a hundred winning combinations. The lottery became popular throughout the country, and later the Great Wall of China was built using the money invested in it.

Much later, about two centuries ago, Keno came to American soil – along with the arrival of immigrants from Asia. Originally it was not a lottery, but a game. But later it was simplified and became a lottery format that is familiar to the world today. At the same time the number of winning combinations was reduced to eight dozen.  The name was changed to Keno Horse Racing. It was up to the player to decide which horse (or character) to bet on.

Online Keno game

This virtual lottery offers participants a table numbered 1-80 and a basket containing the same number of balls with the same numerical symbol. Two dozen balls are drawn at random during each draw. The point is that the numbered balls that fall out give a certain result. The result must be found on the ticket. Only 15 numbers can be chosen.

In the online game if the number in the table coincides with the drawn number, the colour of the ball in the ticket changes. This allows you to see the result. The amount of money you can win depends on the number of balls matched.

How the lottery works

Before Keno starts, the player has to fill out a ticket. His or her task is to predict which numbers and combinations will win prizes. With this in mind, the person who enters the lottery places his/her bets. Each number has its own bet. The final ticket is made up of the selected numbers and their combinations. It is registered, the bet amount is marked on it, and it is then entered into the lottery. After filling out the ticket, the player then has to wait for the draw.

During the Keno lottery process, participants watch the balls as they are drawn. Once the last one has appeared, the results of the draw are revealed. Additional winning combinations are also offered, for example if an entire row of numbers comes up. The additional conditions vary depending on which casino is the organiser.

The special thing about the lottery is that it has no lucky numbers or lucky combinations. The winnings are completely random, so it is not possible to devise a strategy for this lottery either. Moreover, it is possible that a combination that does not win one time will not win the next time you play the lottery. Some people do so by betting on the same combination of numbers, time after time.

In Keno there is more chance of winning a small prize by placing small bets than there is of hitting the jackpot. The odds of the latter are about one in nine million.
