The Good Luck Club - How to play Keno

HISTORY
Video Keno is an electronic version of live Keno. Keno is a lottery-type numbers game that came to us from ancient China. The original game involved the selection of Chinese characters instead of numbers. The characters displayed on the original Keno game told a story and were not random. Today's Keno, both live and video versions, is a popular casino game in which players bet on the outcome of numbers randomly selected from a pool.

OBJECT
The object of Keno is to accurately predict the outcome of 10 numbers randomly selected from a pool of 80.

OVERVIEW
Keno is a very simple game to play. You start by picking 1-10 numbers you predict will be randomly selected out of 80 numbers. Place your bet and activate a play button. The game will randomly select 20 numbers. The number of picks you make will determine the minimum number of "hits" needed to get paid. See Minimum Hits Needed. According to this chart, if your numbers are in the group of randomly selected numbers, you win!

GAME RULES

Select 1-10 numbers (picks) per game.
Play 1, 5 or 10 games. When playing 5 or 10 games, your numbers stay the same throughout all the games played in the series of 5 or 10. After each individual game, or at the end of a 5 or 10 game series, you can change your numbers.
Payout schedules are displayed on the game and change according to the number of picks you make and the amount you bet.
To get paid, the minimum number of hits needed out of the 20 numbers drawn depends on how many picks you make.
