Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Watch me double my money playing keno! In the above keno video, I started with $500 and ended with $1,000 in just a few minutes.

Keno is a very simple game to play. You have total control over the number you pick. However, to win money, some of those number must match the number that the computer picks. That is the game! The payouts are big but the odds are long.

You will win 15,000 coins when your 15 numbers match the 15 numbers picked by the software!

How to Play Keno

Keno uses a large board marked with the numbers 1 to 80. In a basket are balls also numbered 1 to 80. Twenty balls are drawn at random. The objective is to predict the numbers of the twenty balls drawn. You may choose to bet on up to fifteen of the eighty numbers on the board in one play.

To play a game of Keno, do the following:

1. Click the Increase (+) or Decrease (-) button to select the amount you want to bet.

2. Left-click a number on the Keno board to select it. The number you select is highlighted. To de-select a number, left-click the same number again. You can select up to fifteen numbers.

3. Click the Play button. The game starts. As numbers are drawn they are highlighted on the Keno board. A selected number changes color when it is matched with a drawn number. When all twenty numbers are drawn, you will be paid out according to the number of matches made. The Payout Table represents the winnings.

4. Click the Clear button to play again.

The Payout Table is dependent on how many numbers you selected on the Keno board.
