Keno is a game that some people love to hate, while others hate to love.  And for a small group, keno is a game that people love to love.  Andrew Riddell probably considers himself to fall into the latter group, for he plays keno quite often at Boomtown Casino in Nevada.  And it was during this last week of playing keno that paid off for Andrew, for he won a $50,000 jackpot on a ten $6 bets.  Even online keno can award jackpots in the thousands, which several online gamblers are beginning to experience for themselves.

Whoever says that keno is not worth one's time should think again.  Sure, keno does not offer the same expectation of return that other casino games offer; However, keno, whether in the online casino or brick 'n mortar casino, does payout winnings - and in some cases like the one I am about to mention, pays out quite a large sum.

A jackpot of over $50,000 was recently awarded to gambler Andrew Riddell at the Boomtown Casino in Reno.  Stopping to play one last ten-game ticket at $6 per game, Andrew got a solid eight and two four-spots on his last keno ticket, making him the jackpot winner of the day.  The keno lounge at Boomtown Casino was quite the scene when his numbers hit, sending his wife, mother, and himself into ecstatic joy.  Andrew decided his luck wasn't over yet, and so decided to stay an extra night at the casino rather than going home as he was just about to do.

The keno lounge at Boomtown Casino is much like other keno lounges, in that it offers comfortable seating and tables, large screens, and complimentary food and beverages.  There are many different types of tickets and bet sizes to make, including one cent games, forty cents midnight specials, and way tickets.  Keno is available at most casinos in Nevada and on the Strip, as well as all Pinnacle Entertainment Casinos like Boomtown.

Pinnacle runs casinos in several jurisdictions, including Indiana, Missouri and along the Gulf Coast.  Pinnacle may be building on land in the Louisiana and Mississippi area if legislation allows in the future.  Additionally, if all approvals go through by the Missouri Gaming Commission, Pinnacle will be offer keno at two new casino resorts in St. Louis.

Online Keno is available at just about all online casinos that offer standard gambling games.  If researched and played with simple bankroll strategy, online keno can produce some pretty consistent payouts.  Although it is strictly a game of chance, online keno has a large following, and is played for its simplicity and large jackpots.
