Well, there really isn't much to be said about strategy when it comes to the game of keno. Being a game of pure luck, the numbers you pick don't play a role in whether you win or lose, but as in any casino game, there are of course things you can do to make for a better game. Wagering more than you can afford is a risky business but one that's quite popular among gamblers at the casinos. Before I start explaining what the strategy actually entails, you need to know that there isn't a keno strategy in existence that can increase your chances of winning. Having said that, you could wear your lucky shoes or bring your lucky pendant, because luck is the only thing that can make a difference.
Let's take a closer look at the game, shall we? Starting off, you have the ticket in front of you and you're probably wondering to yourself how to play it so that this time you hit the jackpot. Well, if there were a way to do that, everyone would be raking in the state lottery more than once in his or her lifetime. Unfortunately, randomness plays a very important role in keno and there's no way to beat it. Lady Luck is your best friend in this game of chance.
The probability chart below shows what you can expect given the amount of spots you have marked. There are two notations: one for the probability, which is the likelihood of catching a certain amount of numbers based on the number of spots you marked; the second is the odds to 1 against catching the specified number of spots in the 'catch' column.
