Keno Lingo: Where to Play

“Lounge” – Keno is not played in a Keno ‘Arena’, nor in a Keno ‘Room’. The room where Keno is played in a casino is called the Keno Lounge – A term perfect for the relaxed, some would say comatose environment of Keno.

“Race” – In some Keno rooms (especially in some older casinos) you will see a game of Keno referred to as a ‘race’. This term is held over from the days when Keno was known as “horse race Keno” This could also be because there was always a race to the Keno desk after each game, as winning tickets were void at the beginning of the next game (Caution – some casinos still use this rule!)

I have a couple of questions, is there a particular system of picking numbers that have a greater chance of being picked more often in Live Keno at Las Vegas, EG :

6 spot VS 8 spot VS 4 spot ????

Choosing a block or 4 or 6 or 8 numbers all together ???

I have watched during a few years and most Winners I have seen seem to play 4 or 6 or 8 spots and always numbers together, such as 8 - 9 - 10 - 18 - 19 - 20 ( 6 numbers in a 6 block ), is this advisable or is it best to simply try to pick the desired number of numbers randomly ???.
