Keno Games
Keno is perhaps the world’s oldest form of gambling, indeed it is believed that the Great Wall of China was funded by the Chinese government’s form of Keno. Since its inception, many governments have used this game to help raise money, and in Europe and the US most places allow Keno as a legal form of gambling. For South African players online Keno has become the norm with all SA casinos offering this game. See our top list of casinos to play Keno below.

How to Play Keno
The game is rather simple as you only need to guess which numbers will get chosen. A typical Keno game will be shown on a TV screen and has an animated ball that lands on a random number. Before the game starts you fill out a card with your desired choice of numbers and pick which ones you think will hit. There will be 80 total numbers to pick from and only 20 will be chosen in the game. Once your card is handed in, you simply sit back and hope to win.
There will be various options that you can pick as well. You can pick up to 10 numbers and as little as 1. Some places will have up to 15 numbers. The more you pick, the more you can win if they are hit. You can also choose to play for a certain amount of games in a row.
Online Keno Odds
Each set of numbers picked will have specific odds and payouts. As stated above the more numbers you pick correctly, the more you can win. Here is a detailed odds list of all number selections.
10 – 1 in 9.05
9 – 1 in 9.75
8 – 1 in 9.77
7 – 1 in 4.23
6 – 1 in 6.19
5 – 1 in 10.34
4 – 1 in 3.86
3 – 1 in 6.55
2 – 1 in 16.63
1 – 1 in 4.0
Variations of Keno
You may find different types of Keno depending on where you play. Some places offer what’s called Bonus Keno. This allows you to pay an extra fee to win a bonus. At the beginning of the game a virtual wheel will spin and may award a multiplier on any winnings for that game.
You may also find the amount of numbers you can pick will vary. The norm is to pick up to 10, but other games will allow you to play more than this. It’s best to check the rules before playing any Keno game.
Online Keno
Online Keno is the same as you will find anywhere else. The concept is the same and you will often find same variations. The big difference is that you are playing online, from the comfort of your own home rather than in a casino or bar.
