Video Keno Machines
Video Keno machines tend to be found more at casinos that do not have an active Keno booth, in other words a live game of Keno. Video Keno is the more advanced version of the original Keno game. The rules are the same but the payout may sometimes differ and be less that at live Keno. There is no real reasoning for this apart from the belief that lower bets are made with Video Keno but more frequently.
A Video Keno machine looks just like a Video Poker machine. It is a computer like console where the player views a screen with the 80 numbers on it. He can choose up to 15 numbers just like in the live Keno game. The more modern Video Keno machines are interactive and now work with a touch screen, where the player can just touch the screen to choose his numbers.
Betting at Video Keno
Betting at a Video Keno machine is just as easy as playing on the Slots. All that a player has to do is insert the tokens he wants to bet or at some machines the actual cash. Just as with live Keno the more the value of the bet, the better the chances are of winning higher sums. Bets can range from $0.25 to as high as $5 at a Video Keno machine. Payout is made either from the machine or if it is exceptionally large sums then from the casino cashiers.
Video Keno machines tend to have a higher return than the live Keno games but that maybe just a way of the casinos attracting players to the Video Keno games. The machines are usually situated with the Slots and Video Poker games at the entrances to the casinos so they can often be by passed.
Advantages of Video Keno
The big advantage of Video Keno over live Keno is that winnings do not have to be claimed. There is no time limit or rush to claim winnings as there is with live Keno. Video Keno winnings are paid on the spot through the machine. Whether the player chooses to play one or multiple games the winnings are automatically paid out.
There is also no rush to choose your numbers when playing Video Keno. If you are one of these players who believe in choosing certain numbers rather than at random then you want to take your time when choosing, that is not a problem with Video Keno. Or you can let the computer choose the numbers for you, known as a quick pick. Either way you are not under pressure to choose the numbers in time for the next call. Video Keno is only your game and no one else is involved so you can take as much time as you want.
