Keno Card Game
The attraction of playing 20-Card Keno is having more opportunities to win. Picking more numbers in a single game gives you a better chance of winning something. As an example, if you’re playing 20 different cards, with a different 5 spot on each card, you have a better chance of hitting a 5 spot than if you were only playing on one card, right? But even if you hit your 5 spot on one of the cards, how about the 19 cards that are losers or low pay winners? And remember, even though you’re playing 20 cards, you’ll, more often than not, lose or low pay on all 20 cards.
To be fair, you need the low paying winners to help you keep playing for a longer period of time. But the low paying wins alone will not normally let you leave the casino as a winner. They just allow you to keep putting more money into the machine. Especially if you’re playing 20 Card Keno. That’s where the idea of ‘overlapping’ can really help. And that’s why I created the 20-Card Keno Smart Charts™.
When you overlap, some of the numbers of a particular spot will be repeated on the other cards. The result will be that when you win – you’ll win bigger. That’s because, when you win, you’ll win more often on multiple cards. Even the low wins will be multiplied by the amount of cards that the repeated numbers are played on. This technique makes for some exciting action when you’re playing 20 card keno but, admittedly, you’ll experience increased volatility. The trade off is that when you do win – you can really win big.
Look at it this way; If you play completely different numbers on each card on a 20-card keno machine, you have virtually no chance of winning a jackpot on all 20 cards. But if you play less numbers with some of the numbers overlapping each other, you could actually win on all twenty cards! And yes, that really does happen.
Simply put, keno is a numbers-based game of luck and patience, which can deliver big winning results, so knowing how the game works, will maximise your chances of being successful. Gambling has been available for centuries - not decades and you may be surprised to learn that keno originated in China way back in the mid-1800s. Keno is a Casino game where players have to choose 1 to 10 numbers from the given table of numbers ranging from 1 to 80; much like Bingo. The numbers are then drawn and depending on how many of. Standard keno is played with only one card per round, but Multi-Card Keno can be played with up to 20 cards simultaneously. When you’re playing with multiple cards, you rely on more than just one set of numbers for a payout. The fact that there are several other cards you can fall back on helps you get a return profit.

What’s particularly important when overlapping in 20-card keno is evenly distributing your numbers. You’ll want to have a balance of unique base numbers and those that you overlap. The Smart Charts™ allow you to easily do that without making errors.
Keno/kiːnoʊ/ is a lottery-like gambling game often played at modern casinos, and also offered as a game by some state lotteries.
Players wager by choosing numbers ranging from 1 through (usually) 80. After all players make their wagers, 20 numbers (some variants draw fewer numbers) are drawn at random, either with a ball machine similar to ones used for lotteries and bingo, or with a random number generator.
Each casino sets its own series of payouts, called 'paytables'. The player is paid based on how many numbers were chosen (either player selection, or the terminal picking the numbers), the number of matches out of those chosen, and the wager.
There are a wide variety of keno paytables depending on the casino, usually with a larger 'house edge' than other games offered by that casino. The house edge ranges from less than 4 percent[1] to over 35 percent.[2] The typical house edge for non-slot casino games is under 5 percent.[3]

History[edit]
The word keno has French or Latin roots (Fr. quine 'five winning numbers', L. quini 'five each'), but by all accounts the game originated in China. Legend has it that the invention of the game saved an ancient city in time of war, and its widespread popularity helped raise funds to build the Great Wall of China. In modern China, the idea of using lotteries to fund a public institution was not accepted before the late 19th century.[4]
Chinese lotteries are not documented before 1847 when the Portuguese government of Macau decided to grant a license to lottery operators. According to some, results of keno games in great cities were sent to outlying villages and hamlets by carrier pigeons, resulting in its Chinese name 白鸽票 báigē piào, literally 'white dove ticket', pronounced baak-gap-piu in Cantonese (on which the Western spelling 'pak-ah-pu' / 'pakapoo' was based).
The Chinese played the game using sheets printed with Chinese characters, often the first 80 characters of the Thousand Character Classic, from which the winning characters were selected.[5][6] Eventually, Chinese immigrants introduced keno to the US in the 19th century,[7] where the name was Westernized into boc hop bu[6] and puck-apu.[5] By 1866, it had already become a widely popular gambling game in Houston, Texas, under the name keno.[8]
Probabilities[edit]
Keno payouts are based on how many numbers the player chooses and how many of those numbers are 'hit', multiplied by the proportion of the player's original wager to the 'base rate' of the paytable. Typically, the more numbers a player chooses and the more numbers hit, the greater the payout, although some paytables pay for hitting a lesser number of spots. For example, it is not uncommon to see casinos paying $500 or even $1,000 for a 'catch' of 0 out of 20 on a 20 spot ticket with a $5.00 wager. Payouts vary widely by casino. Most casinos allow paytable wagers of 1 through 20 numbers, but some limit the choice to only 1 through 10, 12, and 15 numbers, or 'spots' as the numbers selected are known.[9]
The probability of a player hitting all 20 numbers on a 20 spot ticket is 1 in 3,535,316,142,212,174,320.[10]
Even though it is virtually impossible to hit all 20 numbers on a 20 spot ticket, the same player would typically also get paid for hitting 'catches' 0, 1, 2, 3, and 7 through 19 out of 20, often with the 17 through 19 catches paying the same amount as the solid 20 hit. Some of the other paying 'catches' on a 20 spot ticket or any other ticket with high 'solid catch' odds are in reality very possible to hit:
| Hits | Probability |
|---|---|
| 0 | 1 in 843.380 |
| 1 | 1 in 86.446 |
| 2 | 1 in 20.115 |
| 3 | 1 in 8.009 |

| 19 | 1 in 2,946,096,785,176,811.500 |
| 20 | 1 in 3,535,316,142,212,174,320.000 |
Probabilities change significantly based on the number of spots that are picked on each ticket.
