Online Keno - Playing the game of keno online with keno winning strategy

Keno is a combination of lottery and bingo game, where the bet you make is that the numbers you pick on the game screen will come up during the game.

Video Keno is a lottery based game where the numbers are hit randomly, so there isn't a straight forward system to picking numbers because every round stands on its own, without memory of the previous ones or any relation to them. However, there are some popular ways people use to pick their keno numbers.

One of the most popular strategies is to play the free keno games for a while and keep score of the numbers that keep coming up. One of the reasons online keno is so popular is that you can play free practice games to follow the rounds in order to keep track. Once you have your list you can stick with it in your real money games.

Another strategy (and the opposite of the former one) is similar to a popular system that players use in the roulette table. Instead of picking the numbers that came up, the players pick numbers that weren't hit in the last few games. Like the previous strategy, it's especially suitable to online keno games because the player determines when to start a new round so you have enough time to check out the hits before you move on to the next picks.

Just like many people use their family member's birthdays to fill in a lottery ticket, a lot of Keno players stick to their lucky numbers when they make the picks on the screen. This system usually suits players who play 2 or 3 numbers, because hitting your birthday can earn you 15:1 if you win 2 out of 2 (day and month) and 47:1 if you win 3 out of three (day, month, and year). You can also stick to the same 10 numbers of course but you have better odds hitting 2 or 3 than the whole 10. But then again hitting 10 out of 10 pays 10,000 to one, making a chance worth taking...

A third strategy is the 'common sense' keno system. Although statistically all the numbers have the same chance of getting hit, the common sense system assumes that the hits will spread all over the screen, instead of concentrating on a certain section of it. So the 'sensible' keno player makes sure to pick numbers from different areas of the board. As a result, in this system the idea is to divide the screen according to how many numbers you play.

For example, when playing 10 numbers you can pick one at any corner, middle top and middle bottom, middle right and middle left, and two in the middle of the screen. When you play 5 numbers you can cover 4 corners and choose one number in the middle. Of course there is no guarantee that the balls won't hit 10 consecutive numbers, since that outcome is as probable as random as hitting your picks, but many players feel that this system provides good coverage of the screen and increase the winning odds.

Keno is a game of chance, but playing a strategy makes the game more interesting. What could make you feel luckier than making money out of choosing your own birthday or cheering on your lucky numbers? No matter which way you play keno, it's one of the most relaxing games you can find here and you can bet you'll have fun!
