Keno is a very popular game of chance that has been played in casinos since the 19th century. It is similar to a lottery, but it is based on numbers rather than words or images. In its traditional form, the rules of Keno are very simple. Players choose a number between one and eighty, which is then drawn at random from a draw machine. If the number is those chosen by the player, he or she wins a prize according to the payout odds.
Keno was initially played as an alternative to combustible lotteries, and first appeared in the United States in the 19th century. It quickly spread and became popular in many parts of the world. Nowadays, it can be found in land-based and online casinos in the Maldives.
