Keno is one of the easiest games to learn out of the list of games offered by casinos. Because one can participate in this game for wagers as low as a dollar, Keno is fairly popular among casino patrons. Infact, it's so easy learning how to play Keno it's just like child's play.

The rules for Keno are fairly simple to understand. There will be a numbered board with numbers starting with 1, going all the way to 80. A player can begin playing Keno by choosing 2 to 10 different numbers from the range of 1 to 80. This selection can be made either by using a paper ticket for real life casinos or by clicking on the number itself for virtual casinos. A "Quick Pick" option is available for people who don't feel like choosing the numbers for themselves and instead, leave the system to randomly pick the numbers for them. 

After selecting the numbers, players can choose how much a person wants to wager on the game. Minimum bets are usually set at a dollar for most casinos whereas maximum bets are more varied between different casinos. 

After the betting time expires (for real life) or after you submit your bet (for online), the system will randomly select 20 numbers. The decision to select a number is independent of the number selection made by players. The process of selecting the 10 numbers is usually termed as a "Draw". 

After a draw is complete, players then check if the system has selected any number that they themselves have selected. Having a number that both the player and the system have chosen is usually termed as a "Hit". Different operators have different payout systems. Thus, the player will have to check out their operator's payout system to know how many hits they need in order to be eligible for a prize. 

Example:

Operator A's payout system is as follow:

0 to 3 hits - $0

4 hits - 1.5 X Bet Amount

5 hits - 2 X Bet Amount

6 hits - 30 X Bet Amount

7 hits - 100 X Bet Amount

8 hits - 500 X Bet Amount

9 hits - 1000 X Bet Amount

10 hits - 2500 X Bet Amount 

Player B selects the following numbers: 4, 13, 14, 33, 42, 51, 66, 67, 71 and 79. He wagers $2. 

Player C selects the following numbers: 1, 2, 3, 20, 26, 33, 42, 55, 77 and 80. He wagers $8. 

Player D selects the following numbers: 1, 3, 26, 51, 56, 58 and 61. He wagers $2. 

The system selects the following numbers: 1, 2, 3, 20, 26, 55, 57, 65, 77 and 80. 

Therefore, Player B who has no hits, wins $0 and loses all his money. 

Player C has 8 hits, wins 500 X 8 = $4000. 

Player C has 3 hits, wins $0 because he's got less than 4 hits and loses all his money.
