PLAYING "THE WALLS"!

This is a perfect example of playing the walls overlapping and tight.  By that I mean you would select numbers that are against the wall and connected, then move one space and continue that same pattern until you have covered an area thoroughly.  For example, let's say you want to cover the top row (1 -10), you might cover 1 -7, then 2-8, then 3 - 9, and then 4 -10.  That's just four picks.  You could still make up to 16 other selections on the board.  But let's say you wanted to concentrate your selections only on numbers 1 -10.  Then you could, for example, choose 1 -6, 2 -7, 3 -8, 4 -9, and 5 -10.  Now you have used 9 out of 20 potential selections.  If you decide to choose further picks in that selected area, you could pick 1-8, 2-9, and 3-10 (for 3 / 8 picks).  At this point, you would have 8 remaining selections, if you decided to use the maximum of 20 picks.  Those are all solid patterns because there are no breaks in them.  On top of the current 12 picks that are already chosen (Cards A -L), you could also break up some patterns like this:  (Cards M - T) Card M - 1,2,4,5,7,8...Card N - 2,3,5,6,8,9...Card O - 3,4,6,7,9,10...Card P - 1,2,3, 5,7,8,9,10...Card Q - 2,3,4,6,7,9,10...and so on until you have chosen all of your cards, A - T.  This will saturate 1/8th of the board with many winning variations.  As you can see above, I was playing a wall pattern using 13 numbers and employing the overlapping and tight technique.  Have fun playing Keno and Good Luck to you! ~Kim

STARTING OUT - PLAYING KENO

When you are new to the game of Keno it can seem, at first, confusing. 

 That is a very common response for "first-timers". 

 If that is you, not to worry, there is a very simple way to learn the game. 

 Try SINGLE CARD KENO when you are first starting out. 

 After that, you can progress to 4-card Keno, ten card keno, and then Multi-Card Keno 

(playing 1 to 20 cards of Keno with Multi-Card Keno).

Find the lowest denomination machine(s) available at the casino, or try the game of Keno for free online at various game sites on the web. 

 The most common Keno game allows you to pick up to 10 choices per card, from 80 numbers (1 - 80).

The amount of money you can win is determined by the number of choices you pick and your style or choice, of play. 

  For example, if you choose to play 8 different numbers and you "hit" all 8, then you would win more money than if you chose to play 6 numbers and "hit" 6 out of 6. However it is easier to "hit" 6 out of 6 because regardless of how many numbers you choose, the machine will always randomly hit on 20 of the 80 possible picks on the game board. So, hitting 6 out of 20 is obviously easier than hitting 8 out of 20. See? 

 To study the pay chart, simply choose that option on your machine's menu and you will be able to view the detailed breakdown of winnings, according to your number of picks, prior to the start of the game.

MULTI-CARD KENO

Overlapping and Tight

The technique that will produce the biggest wins 
are a combination of both overlapping and tight patterns 
(using less than 16 spots for all 20 picks, A-T).  
Pictured WIN using this technique, with a total of 15 spots for all 20 picks, A-T.

Let's say you enjoy playing the walls... then, for example, choose an 8 pick on the wall and move up one and overlap with another pick, and so on.   Once you have the area of the wall covered with solid picks, re-cover the same area of that wall with picks that include spaces in them (such as 71, 61, 41, 31, 11, 1, 3).  
Overlap those types of picks, as well.  

You can cover an area of the wall with a few 8 or 9 picks, let's say, then go back over that area with 7 picks and picks of various lengths, with spaces in them.  

Combine different types of picks over an area, to better your chances of hitting a solid 8/8 WIN, 7/7 WIN, 6/6 WIN and so forth, at the same time (for example).  

Then, when that wall "HITS" you have it covered multiple ways.

This has the potential to produce a win that includes all or most of your picks, 
thereby dramatically increasing your overall win!
