Keno, the casino game that is sometimes called The Chinese lottery because of its Asian origins, is a numbers game that can be described as a cross between Bingo and the Lotto. However unlike internet bingo, you pick your own winning numbers and mark them on tickets.

As your numbers come up you note them with a different colored marker. If the receipt for your numbers is computerized you don’t have to do this. The numbers on your card that match winning numbers of a particular drawing determine how much, if any money is won.If you do win, the winnings must be cashed out immediately after the game. This must be done quickly as in most casinos; keno drawings take place every five minutes. If you don’t take your winning ticket to the teller before the next game starts drawing then it might be declared void!

When the maximum number of casino games (matching the number of tickets) is finished, the player can then redeem any winnings and avoid the chance of being stuck with void ticket.
