Keno, like many other games is a game of luck
and chance, so strategy won’t guarantee your success.
The most important thing when you face the keno game is to correctly
manage your bankroll.
First of all, you must set a number of wins as a goal, define it
as your main objective. A good chance is 50-100% of starting bankroll.
Once you achieve this you will cash out, no matter how you're doing.
There’s no way you can trick the casino at a Keno game, mainly
because it’s a chance game and you can not predict the outcome
of the next draw.
Keno is very fun, and doesn’t require a lot of thinking, you
can play by impulse, choosing numbers randomly, picking them out
of important dates to you, the numbers from your license plate,
your new house front door numbers, etc. It’s almost unlimited.
And if you have fun doing it the job is done.
Keno Strategy
With all that said, your main strategy should be have fun, because
aside having fun there’s not much to add.
This doesn’t mean that there’s nothing to learn. First
of all you should learn your motivations, accomplish that and you’ll
become a more effective player. The things you can control are a
few, the numbers are the main. Now, whose to blame? The numbers
you choose or the numbers that were draw of the sphere? The thing
is to know how to choose the numbers of numbers you choose. Tricky,
isn’t it?
Ok, so here’s the deal. If you choose two numbers you have
a better chance to hit a 100% of them that if you had choose ten
numbers, right? In actuality yes, but as payouts fluctuate with
the number of numbers picked, the casinos compensate for any weak
mathematics.
And what about combinations? That’s only a little trick casinos
do to make people feel more in control of the game, and give them
more to do while they play Keno. This is kind of obvious, if combinations
really could help your odds, casinos won’t allow them. The
only thing that’s interesting about combinations is that you
can lower the minimum bet. This is not much but at least it’s
something.
Bottom line? Choose less numbers if you want to win more often.
The winnings are going to be a little less, but you should be able
to keep playing for more time. That is if you like Keno.
These are the probabilities, taken from an article by Alan Krigman.
You pick 4 numbers. You've got a 30.8 percent chance none will hit,
a 21.3 percent chance 2 will hit, and down to a 0.3 percent chance
all 4 will hit.
14 numbers. You've a 2.0 percent chance half will hit, 0.4 percent
chance eight will hit, and much less than 0.1 percent chance of
a grand slam; one chance out of 389 million.
