Learn About The Odds

In the game of online keno, players must select multiple numbers they believe will be drawn from a pool of numbers. The pool of numbers typically contains numbers between 1 and 80 (although there have been other variations developed with different number ranges; we will stick to talking about the traditional keno in this article).

Twenty numbers are chosen at random from a pool of numbers ranging from 1 to 80. The 20 numbers are drawn in online Keno using the principles of random number generators. An explanation of this intriguing logic can be found in another GambleDex article. For further information, go here. 

The numbers that the player selected prior to the game begins are compared to the 20 drawn after the draw of the numbers. The player wins if a specific number is the same. The number of correctly selected numbers determines the winning amount.

Let's start by learning the odds of hitting the largest keno jackpot, which is obtained by correctly choosing every single one of the twenty numbers drawn from the pool.

The odds of winning the largest jackpot (20 out of 20) are an incredible 1 in 3,500,000,000,000,000,000. Truly speaking, I have no idea how to express this amount—perhaps a trillion of trillions. It is almost impossible to win the largest possible sum of money.

As a result, most players typically choose between five and eight numbers. While still exceedingly unlikely to occur, the chances of winning on a smaller selection drop dramatically to the billions, making it more likely than choosing all 20 numbers.

Typical Keno Numbers Drawn

There isn't much of a difference in the numbers that are drawn more frequently than others out of the 80 numbers from which 20 numbers are selected at random. Nonetheless, 4, 8, 23, 25, and 69 are the five numbers that do come up more frequently. It's not significant, but these five numbers occur 0.01 to 0.02% more frequently than the others. 

Some players prefer to stay away from the cold and use "hot" numbers. The best way to characterize hot numbers is as the most recently drawn common numbers; that is, they are trending upward. Players who select hot numbers think that the numbers are more likely to be chosen again in their minds. Therefore, cold numbers are those that haven't been selected in any recent online keno games. Players steer clear of cold numbers because they think their chances of being chosen are slim.

Know When To Hold Rounds

Extending the time of going through rounds is one of the greatest gambling hacks that works for all casino games, including online keno. This is a simple tip that any player can apply. In other words, a player's bank roll will last longer the longer he plays a round or waits between rounds. It's clear and easy to comprehend.

It makes sense that the longer the bank roll, the slower the game play will be because the online casino has the advantage in odds.

Aamusement In Between Games

Before keno went online, it was a game played in land-based casinos, bars, and clubs by groups of friends in between drinks or as a way to socialize. The rounds of online keno can move along much more quickly. As such, it's crucial to play at a slower pace when engaging in other activities alongside online keno. This could be accomplished by just preparing lunch or dinner, going out to drink with friends, or even just watching TV in between games. The idea is to mix in other activities in between online keno rounds. The bank roll will be extended as a result.

Keep Your Bets Minimal

A large variety of wagering amounts are accepted for both land-based and online keno. The biggest bet has the potential to reach hundreds. In our guide to online keno tips and tricks, we strongly advise placing bets close to the lowest amount allowed. Once more, the bank roll can be lengthened with the intention of extending it while wagering less. Additionally, more play time can be obtained by extending the bank roll.

The safest bet is to play the minimum because winning Keno has extremely low odds, albeit it's still possible.
