In case you weren't aware of it, the game of keno is no longer the exclusive province of the retirement set. This is a game that, as it is being played in an online casino, is a fast-paced, technology-driven celebration of great graphics and big payouts. Casino reviews don't ignore the game of keno any more.
Keno, as it is designed by Real Time Gaming, one of the world's foremost companies when it comes to online casino software, obviously resembles the game as it is played in a physical casino to a certain extent, but it adds dimensions of excitement and convenience for players. When we say convenience, we don't mean that lightly, because you not only don't have to wait any period of time between games, as you might when you are sitting with a slip and a marker in a casino, but you've all the figures and results right there in front of you. Why would you want to play this casino game anywhere else?
There is a keno "board" in this game that contains the numbers 1 through 80. Of course, you can choose up to fifteen numbers on that board, and as you are selecting each successive number you are looking at the left side of the interface to see what the payout is for each of them.
The payouts are different, depending on how many numbers you have selected for a game. For example, if you selected 15 numbers, you'll get a payout of 12 coins for seven hits, 2800 coins for 11 hits, and 100,000 coins for hitting all 15.
When you select a number, it is highlighted in bright white. At the bottom, you've got options. You can play one game, five games, or ten games. Then the Random Number Generator (RNG) goes to work and selects the winning numbers just as keno balls might be used in a physical casino setting. You can keep track of the results of the casino games you've played by looking at the right column on the interface, next to the board. So if you have played ten games, it will tell you how many hits you had on each game. Then you can mouse over any of the games that are represented on that chart, and see what winning numbers the RNG picked, as they are marked with a "X."
You can also play a "Quick Pick," in which the RNG simply selects ten numbers for you at random, and the game proceeds from there. This isn't much different from what you can do with lottery tickets in many states.
When one of the numbers you have selected matches one of the winning numbers that comes out of the program, you will know it, since you'll hear a "ding" and see the number highlighted with a yellow outline on the square and blinking. The bet size for each game is fixed at $1, so if you want to increase the bet, you have to play more games at once. Everything moves fast enough, believe me. And it's really a very simple layout. Just click some numbers and choose how many games to play. The design is so slick it's downright......sexy. Did you think we'd be saying that about keno?
Hey, it's not just your grandmother's game anymore. |
