Vegas Betting Lines - Play Keno Online

The game of Keno originated long ago in China, where according to legend, this lottery game helped finance the Great Wall. Keno eventually made its way to Europe becoming very popular in Italy. The game was said to have been brought to America by the Chinese who immigrated there to work in the silver mines and to build the railroads.

The object of the game is to correctly guess from 1 to 12 of 20 randomly selected numbers. The 20 numbers are selected from a batch of 80 Keno numbers. Payouts depend on the price of the game played and the amount of numbers guessed correctly, with the amount of correct numbers required varying by the amount of numbers selected.

Keno is a very easy and relaxing game to play. First, select the price of the game card. This is a flat price that will be deducted from your balance when the game starts and it is not affected by how many numbers are chosen. Higher priced games bring with them the opportunity for larger winnings.

Next, select 1 to 12 numbers by clicking the numbers on the Keno game card displayed on the screen. Once a number is chosen, that number will be marked to indicate the selection. Once all the numbers have been chosen, click the Start button to have the 20 winning numbers selected. Payouts are determined by how many of the 20 winning numbers were guessed correctly. The minimum number of correctly guessed numbers required to win depends on the total amount of numbers chosen. See Payouts for more information.
