How to play online Keno

The aim of Keno is to predict as many of the twenty numbers that are presented in each round.
First of all choose the Keno variant you want to play. In an online casino you will often find more variants of Keno but sometimes only one. When you open the game you will see your Keno ticket or if available more Keno tickets. One ticket has a total of 80 numbers. You can now choose the numbers you want to or you can choose a random selection and the computer will mark a selection of numbers for you. You can often choose up to 10 numbers and these can be any numbers you like.
In an online casino you can now choose to play the number of rounds you want to play, this can be one, 5 or 10 consecutive rounds. After that the computer will randomly select 20 numbers. If any of your numbers match the numbers of the computer you will ‘hit’. The more numbers you hit the higher your pay out will be. On the pay table you can find the amount of pay outs.
You can keep on playing like this but you can also change the numbers in the meantime.
