It is believed that the word “keno” has Latin roots. In its original form, this game had five winning numbers. Hence the name: quini (Latin) — “every five.” Later, the word entered French: quine (French) — “five winning numbers.”
Centuries of rich history and many legends are associated with this unique game. One of them says that 3,000 years ago in ancient China, people played a lottery similar to Keno.
Its rules were first described in the magical Chinese book “I Ching” — the first evidence in history of the principles of the modern lottery. However, the lottery also had practical significance. It is believed that one of the wonders of the world, the Great Wall of China, was built with its funds.

One of the steps that is important to know for those who want to learn how to win at keno is to use a combination ticket. In this ticket, you bet on more than one set of numbers, and the minimum amount for each set is less than the bet on a regular ticket.
Playing with such a ticket is a little more complicated, as the combinations are mixed up. In this case, you choose from six numbers.
You can combine them into two groups of three numbers and mark 2/3 and 1/6 on the side of the ticket.
This means that you are placing a bet of $3. In this case, $1 will be bet on one group of three numbers, the second on the second, and the third on all six numbers. To make it easier to understand, you need to mentally imagine this process as a kind of horse race.
Also, don’t forget about the possibility of betting on combinations. These numbers can also overlap in combinations. For example, if you combine 2, 3, or 4 numbers, you will get three groups. If you bet $1 on each group, the total amount will be $7.
Be sure to indicate on the side of the ticket what exactly you are betting on, otherwise the Keno reading device may get confused.
Doing this manually may seem complicated, but when playing online, you will have no difficulty, as all you need to do is press buttons.
