Article: Keno lounges and games can vary to some extent, so it is important to find out the specifications of the game you are about to play. You should find out limits on how many numbers you can play, minimum bets, potential pay-outs, and your chance of matching numbers. Being informed is highly important when you play Keno, so look for posted rules when you enter the lounge or game site. If you don't see rules posted at a lounge, it's worth your time to find an employee and ask them about that particular lounge's rules. You might even ask some other players if the game has been paying out well and if there are certain numbers that have been hit frequently. Keno lounges have a fairly standard payout range from one to the next, but there will still be some variation. If you have multiple Keno lounge options nearby, it's worth your time to check into different ones to find a better payout. If you are at a lounge for a while and it doesn't seem to be paying out, try another lounge. You can visit each Keno lounge and ask an employee what the payout is like, or you can ask around some of the players and, if you find someone who is there often, you can ask what the typical payout is. You may not find a whole lot of variation, but if you do find one place with a consistently higher payout, it's worth your while to frequent that one over some of the other options. If you are playing Keno in Las Vegas, you may find better payouts at lounges that are off of the main strip. Keno has pretty bad odds no matter what, but if you are able to be in the right spot at the right time, a progressive jackpot can be a great bet. The pot builds up over time so you have the chance to possibly win a much larger sum than you would in a typical Keno game. Note what bets qualify for a jackpot, pay attention to the payoff table for all non-jackpot wins, and find out the current and maximum size of the jackpot. If possible, find out the size of the most recent jackpot payout to get a sense for how big the jackpot is likely to get before being won.
