Keno play begins with a keno ticket and a pencil. The keno ticket will have numbers 1 through 80 to choose from. To play the game put an X though as many number as you wish to play, up to 10 or 15, depending on the casino. Some casinos also have an option to pick 20or more. For convenience you may also choose quick-pick, in which a computer will randomly pick numbers for the player. The serious player may circle groups of numbers and play each possible combination of circles on one ticket. While this may make the game more fun, it does not change the massive odds against the player.

After filling out a ticket, the player will take it to the counter with his money and the keno host will collect the wager and enter the picks in the computer. In return, the player receives a receipt, which is proof of making a bet. About a minute before the numbers are ready to be drawn the windows will be closed to new to bets. At this point, 80 ping-pong sized balls are whipped through an air chamber and one at a time 20 of them will be selected, similar to a typical lottery drawing. If enough of the 20 match the player's picks, then the ticket wins according to the number of matches and the amount bet. If the ticket loses, then the next round is just about five minutes away.
