Tip #7: Tips for Playing Video Keno Machines - Land or Online

What is the best way to win at video keno? The video keno strategy below was offered by a casino patron we were playing next to at a local casino. Try it at land casinos, online casinos or in your local pub or variety store.

First, let's consider live keno offered by state many lotteries. Typically, the payback is around 70%. However, the prize structure can differ.

For example, in Massachusetts, the top prize is 1 million dollars if you pick 12 correct numbers from the 20 drawn, from a total pool of 80 numbers. The odds are over 478 million to 1 to hit the top prize based on a $1 bet. (source: Massachusetts State Lottery Website)

In Michigan, the top prize is $250,000 if you pick 10 correct numbers from the 22 drawn, from a total pool of 80 numbers. The odds are over 2.5 million to 1 to hit the top prize based on a $1 bet. (source: Michigan State Lottery Website)

With Video Keno the odds of your numbers being drawn are still the same but the pay back is much better, typically 85% to 90% or better. How much you can bet and how much you can win varies with each slot vendors particular version of keno and the wager amount can be as low as 5 cents per play.

Although, for many, Video Keno is not that exciting when compared to the animated theme games. However, playing Keno is a good choice if you want to conserve your bankroll.

When playing Video Keno, just how many numbers to pick is entirely up to you. The more numbers you pick and match the higher the pay out.

Keno Strategy

Here is a video keno strategy we witnessed first hand. We were sitting next to a woman that was making hit after hit. She was hot and it was obvious that she played Video Keno often. We asked her how she was doing so well and she told us her strategy.

First, she would pick a set of numbers and press the play button. On her next game or the one after that she would select a section of numbers that didn't come out on the previous game or games. I tried her technique and made a few decent hits although they were not as good as the ones she was making. She told us it takes a while to get the hang of it. So next time you visit a casino to play video keno give this strategy a try.

If you want to try this keno strategy with an online casino there are many software brands that offer online keno as part of their game lineup usually listed under specialty games. Many of the online casino keno games offer prizes of $50,000 or more.
