There are various ways to play, resulting in all kinds of keno games. The most basic game is a straight ticket, where you select one to fifteen numbers. Naturally, the more numbers you pick, the better your chances are of catching one of the numbers you picked, but you also have to pay a little more.

Payouts differ depending on where you play as well as how many numbers you originally picked and how many of those you caught. For example, on a 6-spot (meaning you marked six numbers) you need to catch three numbers to break even; on a 15-spot you usually need six numbers to win any money. If uncertain, brochures are always available throughout the casinos listing the payout tables. Keno ticket variations exist to create more excitement and offer a little diversity. Although the game can be quite boring to some individuals, there are ways to make it more interesting. I have listed all the possible ways of playing keno below.
