The Casino Lounges

Keno becomes more interesting when you know how to write tickets other than the regular straight ones, since you can then widen the scope of a single ticket to include all kinds of combinations. The various types of tickets will be fully covered in the appropriate sections of this page.

The game has many adherents, some of whom play nothing else. They're generally bored with the mostly even-money payoffs in games like baccarat or blackjack, or they don't understand or care to understand how to play these games.

Various states in America have made millions of people gamblers when lotteries were introduced with their huge payoffs. It's the same principle. These people will go for a payoff that could dramatically change their lives, whereas they wouldn't even think of going to Las Vegas to play at a craps table.

And unfortunately, many of the gamblers who play lotteries are people who can't really afford it, and the $5 or $10 a week that they invest in these lotteries sanctioned by the state is money that adds up to the hundreds at the end of the year, and could be put to better use for necessities.

However, some of the keno players can afford it, and feel that they can beat the game. Or, what happens is that they hit a big payoff early in their keno career and feel that all the money they're pouring back really belongs to the casino in the first place, so they have nothing to lose, a common gambler's fallacy.

When you win at gambling, the money in your pocket is not the casino's, but yours, just as the money you hand over to the keno writer is the casino's and not yours.
