Keno Cards and Tickets Guide

The casino game Keno is played on cards (or tickets) with eighty numbers to choose from. There are a number of different bets players can place on these tickets. The standard bets or plays that can be placed during any Keno game are:

Straight Keno Cards

When you play a straight Keno card you are selecting numbers you want to see drawn by the casino. You are allowed to bet on different amount of numbers at different casinos. Most UK casinos will allow you to choose between one and ten numbers per game of Keno.

Combination Keno Cards

When you play combination Keno cards you combine groups of straight bets on one ticket in different ways. Each possible combination will cost you one stake unit bet.

Split Keno Cards

When playing split Keno cards you play two or more games on the same Keno game. You choose two groups of numbers and divide them with circles or a line. If you bet £2 per group your total keno bet will be £4.

Keno Way Cards

When you play a Keno way card you bet on several groups of numbers on the same Keno game. This is the most complex bet in Keno. You have to decide how many combinations of numbers from the groups you've chosen you want to place your keno bets on. After that you must work out the number of bets placed according to fractions you place to the right of the betting field. To find out the cost of your bet you add the numerators. This might seem complicated.
