Video Keno

Anybody who has ever played the lottery will be familiar with the game of video keno and the thrill, simplicity and lucrative prizes are enough to explain the lure of this game to online casino players.

The idea of video keno is simple enough: Players need to guess which numbers, usually between one and eighty, will be randomly selected by the keno machine.

All the player is required to do is to select up to ten numbers and the amount he or she wishes to wager. The video keno machine will do the rest! Twenty random numbers are selected and the player will see if any of the guessed numbers matched those that appear on the screen. If so, and depending on how many numbers match, the player may be paid out winnings according to a payout table.

Most video keno machines make the player’s life much simpler by providing auto play options. That means that instead of playing one game at a time, the machine will randomly select the numbers for the player each time and play the game in groups of five or ten, depending on what is determined by the player. Of course, this may take away the thrill of selecting numbers each time and, naturally, the player can also opt for the ‘play one’ option.

To make video keno even more exciting, players can go for the progressive jackpot, which is paid out if ten numbers are selected and also matched on the keno board. A smaller set of numbers that are matched may win the player a share of the jackpot.

Video keno is an excellent game to enjoy when in need of light, uncomplicated gambling!
