Fun Keno Facts and Trivia

Keno is by far the most comfortable game to play in a brick-and-neon casino. You lounge easily at the bar or in a casino restaurant and a 'runner' picks up your crayon-checked Keno card, zooms it to the Keno caller and brings your ticket back to you so you can check the winning numbers as they appear on the Keno board, all while sitting comfortably in your seat. Runners are your best friend when playing casino Keno, as many houses allow you only a few minutes to claim your winnings before the next game begins.

When you play Keno from the absolute comfort of your own home, your winnings will wait as long as it takes for you to collect them. No need to 'toke' your runner; the entire game is played right from your own home computer. Online Keno is not a lot different from the game you play in a 'real' casino. There are two main parts to a game of Keno: The numbers, or 'spots' that you select and the numbers drawn by the house. Keno games are fast and you can easily amass a pile of nearly unmanageable tickets.

To make your life easier, you can play what's called a 'Way' ticket that has multiple selections all on one ticket. Say you want to play three three-spot games at once. Simply 'X' your chosen numbers, then circle them in groups of three. Check the rules at www.xyz.com to see exactly how we play it here.
