HISTORY GAME
PLAY The
keno numbers are printed on 80 individual ping-pong balls, which are either
spun around in a wire bird cage, or blown around in a large clear plastic
sphere. As each ball is selected, the winning number is electronically
highlighted on the keno boards throughout the casino. The house draws
20 numbers out of the field of 80. Players can choose as few as one number
or as many as 15. To place bets, a keno ticket, which has boxes for all
80 numbers must be filled out. The casino provides a keno crayon,
which is used to mark down the selected numbers. Minimum bets and payoffs are different from casino to casino, but this information can be found in the keno lounge or in the instruction booklet. Players present their ticket along with their wager to a keno writer, and are issued a computerized ticket with the game number, date, ticket code, choices and the amount of the bet. It is the player's responsibility to compare the computer generated ticket to their original copy in the event of a discrepancy. Once the game is ready to start, betting will be cut off. When the 20 randomly drawn numbers are put up on the keno boards, players compare their ticket with the numbers displayed for the game played. Multi-race keno allows multiple games to be played on one keno ticket. Most casinos allow anywhere from two to 20 games in a row, but some offer up to 1,000. The keno writer or runner must be told that a multi-race ticket is wanted. At the conclusion of the last game selected, players bring their multi-game ticket to the counter and claim their winnings from all the games played.
