Q&A for How to Win Keno

Try to play games 4 or 5, and play lucky pick. It increases your chances, from a completely unscientific perspective, just someone's personal experience.

Since numbers are chosen randomly, they have an equal probability of being chosen. Some people like to pick the same set of numbers each time. Others recommend listening as numbers are chosen and pick ones that have not hit recently. It's a little more luck than strategy.

Generally, video Keno numbers are still generated randomly.

Present your card to the attendant to know if it is a winning card. They just put it in the machine to find out.

The most commonly drawn numbers (hot numbers) are: 23, 34, 72, 1 and 4. Numbers that come up frequently within 50 draws are: 3, 16, 44, 58 and 78.

You win nothing, unfortunately. In most casino keno pay lists, you have to match five numbers to win. Five out of ten played will net you exactly what you bet. (If you bet $1.00, you would win $1.00.)

In my experience, typically you have a greater chance of "hitting" if you play the same numbers for a little while. For example, if you play the entire vertical row from 6 down, if you start with $20, I would play the same numbers till I get down to $12 or$10, then switch it up accordingly.

Buy a Keno card, then select your numbers and place your wager. Wait for the game to start and for your numbers to be selected. If they're selected, you win. For more detail, check out How to Play Keno.

The odds depend on the matching numbers and the prize amount. For example, if you're going for a $50 prize with 16 or 4 numbers matches, your odds are 1 in 308. If you're going for a $3 prize with 13 or 7 numbers matched, your odds are 1 in 8.
