Don’t let the bean counters and odds trackers fool you. While it’s true that Video Poker and Blackjack are the best long-term games, you can definitely win serious money playing Keno. Especially when you play Four Card Keno. I play Four Card Keno when I’m too tired to concentrate on Video Poker strategy (my game of choice). I do well using my ‘mystic gambling’ system and I have a lot of fun. Plus, I’ll win a jackpot on almost every trip. That’s not to say that Four Card Keno isn’t a game of chance. It certainly is. Other than developing your own ‘mystic system’ there is no definite strategy. But I’ve learned tricks that will give you a better chance of winning jackpots, playing longer and having more fun. Oh yeah –playing Four Card Keno is a lot of fun – but winning at Four Card Keno is even better. So let’s get started!
First some Keno basics Traditional Keno is a live game that’s played in an area of many casinos called the Keno Parlor. The parlors are becoming less popular because Video Keno is rapidly replacing the traditional game. But the appeal of Keno is still the same: you can bet a little -and win a lot. It’s essentially a mini lottery with a new game starting every few minutes. Actually, in the case of Video Keno, you can play a new game every few seconds!
Standard Video Keno Screen
The standard Video Keno screen (graphic on right) is made up of squares that are numbered one through eighty. The computer will randomly draw and highlight twenty numbers from the eighty. You play by selecting a group of numbers (called spots) on your card (the screen) that you hope will match some of the twenty numbers that the computer draws. Generally you can bet on trying to catch as few as two spots and as many as ten spots. How much you’ll win will depend on the type of ‘spots’ you play, the amount that you bet and how many numbers you match.

Four Card Video Keno Screen
Four Card Keno is played the same way as standard Keno but, as the name implies, you can play up to four cards per game. So, the computer still draws only 20 numbers but you now have four chances, on four separate cards, to match some or all of your spots. The four cards are designated as A, B, C, and D at the top of the Four Card Keno screen (graphic on left). Just touch the card that you want to play, place your bet and select the number of spots you want to play. Select the next card and repeat the process. After you pick two or more spots on each card, a ‘Start’ button will appear in the bottom righthand corner of the screen. Press that ‘Start’ button to begin the game. Watch as the computer picks 20 numbers and see how many you match. You might notice the SWITCH button just to the left of the card selections. Press that button to ‘switch’ the screen view between looking at a single card or seeing all four cards at the same time. You can also use the SWITCH button to bet on all four cards without having to bet each card individually.
Let The Fun Begin – Mystic 3 Spots! People gamble for many reasons and on every budget. Four Card Keno can satisfy the gambling urge on every level because you can control the odds and the amount of your bet. For example, the lower the number of spots – the better your chances of winning. In other words, it’s easier to pick two or three numbers out of twenty than it is to pick eight or nine. It follows that catching three out three pays a lot less than catching seven out of seven. If you like to win often and play for as long as possible, the three spot may be perfect for you. And that’s the idea behind the Mystic Three Spots . There are two versions.
Version One – Break even when you catch any 2 and get paid on all cards when you hit any 3 out of 3 Set up each card as shown in the graphics below
. 
Card A – Numbers 41, 52 and 62
Card B – Numbers 52, 62 and 71 Notice how we have two common numbers (52 and 62) between card A and Card B.
Card C – Numbers 41, 62, and 71
Card D – Numbers 41, 52 and 71
Here’s a Video of the setup:
The video was recorded during live play and as it happened I didn’t hit anything on the first two games. That’s the way it goes in Keno. You’ll have more losers than winners. But you’ll also win quite a few Jackpots – especially when you play the Mystic 3 spot. Not long after I made that video I hit the 3 spot on all four cards. Check-out the screenshot below. In version one of The Mystic 3 spot is the combinations of the four numbers – 41,52,62, and 71. If you catch two numbers, you’ll get paid on two 
cards which means that you’ll break even on the bet. If catch all three numbers on one card you’ll win the jackpot for that card but you’ll also get paid something from the other three cards. I look at it as a bonus. Plus – every once in a while, you’ll catch a three spot on all four cards. See the graphic on right. When that happens you’ll appreciate one of the reasons that I love to play Four Card Keno. It’s the ability to win on multiple cards and setting up the cards to give yourself the most bang for your bet.
You don’t have to wait until you go to the casino to test this or any ideas that you might have. That’s because the company that makes Four Card Keno has created a special website where you can play Four Card Keno and other variations for free. It’s not a gambling website at all but the games are just like the real thing – because it’s run by the company that makes the Keno and Video Poker games that you play in the casino. Try it – Play Keno and Video Poker Free! Keep in mind that you don’t have to become a member to play the games. It’s totally free unless you want to participate in competitions and win prizes. Play Four Card Keno and Video Poker for free without being a member or you can join to participate in contests and win prizes. But again, it’s not a gambling site. It’s strictly for fun and practice.
Dos this work in live keno as well as video keno?
Yes. It works very well with live keno. The technique is the same.
I only pay what I can afford…keno Is a game of pure luck, I have been playing this game for fun for over 20 years, I only go 5 to 6 times a year to the Vegas Casinos, and about 4 or 5 times a year at the Indian Casinos. I only pay the .25 to 5.00 dollar Machines, I have been lucky last year…Hope to keep that luck going in 2017 . I do not chase numbers…I always keep the same numbers, except for quick pick numbers. Some people think Keno is boring, but when you win you can win big for the amount of money you play…I have been able to play up to dollars on 400.00 dollars and still win some jackpots… I usually stay 5 days and only spend a total of $400. dollars If you can do not change your numbers , if you can stay with the same numbers all you need is to hit once(7out of 7 numbers) and that will be enough money to last you for however long you are staying at the casino.
I live in Arkansas, and the closest casinos are an hour away in Oklahoma (Indian casinos) Does anyone know if there is video keno in Oklahoma? I called 2 casinos this morning, as I have the day off work, but the employees I spoke with didnt know
Choctaw Casino in Idabel has about 6 machines with a wide variety of keno games that I’ve not played anywhere else (including Louisiana). The other Choctaw casinos offer less options, but do have the basic keno games.
Thank you for the information.
I sat in my home which is 3 minutes away from a casino and watched your video on 4card Keno 5 spot. I went over and won 30 minutes from watching your video and used your betting amount and numbers. I have won over $23,000 in 3 months and find me winning 75% of the time now.
Wow, the only multicard games I was aware of were 4 card and 20 card. I normally play 20 card. Was going to segment the 20 card and play multiple levels of your reduction strategy. Where are there 4 card caveman and cleopatra in Vegas? Heading there this weekend. Thanks.
I worked the 3 spot stradegy and it worked but i wasnt betting very high, cause everytime i raised my bet it slowed down the pay out.
Use the law of averages to your advantage with the 3 spot. Count your games. If you play 12 to 15 games without hitting it, that’s the time to increase your bet a little. Keep counting. If you get to 35 games without hitting a 3 spot increase again to a level that you’re comfortable with. Once you hit it – decrease your bet and start all over again. Be disciplined, be patient and stick with it. A streak of wins at the lower level is better than a streak of losses at the higher level.
But what if you are already playing max bet?? and i don’t hit the 3 spot within 10 -15 times ? should i switch Machines?? and does all of ur advice work on ANY KIND of 4 card ? i live in Las Vegas, NV and there’s 4 card of every kind of keno.. like cave man , cleo keno , and 4 card 4 card … its amazing and i was want to tell u i tryed the 6 spot on the 4 card cave man and won 32,000 credits x 4 cause i hit on all 4 cards with all 3 eggs hit on each card i won $48,000 from 128,000 quarters ….thank you !! sooo much … it dose work !!

Holy crap! That’s wonderful! Yes, I have to admit that it does indeed work. All the charts work. Thank you for posting on the website. I get a lot of emails about wins but yours is the biggest yet. Congratulations! And yes, it shouldn’t matter what type of 4 card keno it is.
Techniques and stradegys used for four card keno work well but, as an emergency win it takes most of all money to break even and i need to learn how to read number on the machine that wont pay out no matter how long i stay on the machine
Honestly Rosa It is TRULY a STATE OF MIND !!! meaning if if you THINK that your NOT going to win or are hesitant on spending the money to play Keno or you BELIEVE you DONT break even EVER no matter how long you stay on the machine … Rosa Believe me when i tell you that YOU! ARE! CAUSING!! that to actually happen to you!!! YES I’m serious.. you are already setting your self up to loose, because you already consciously believe those NEGATIVE THINGS will happen… so they do… and its called the Placebo Affect …. Ive lived in Las Vegas NV My entire life and i have NEVER LOST MONEY Gambling!!! scouts honor!!! and the reason is because I BELIEVE I AM A WINNER AND WILL NEVER LOOSE!! that’s my trick.. think about how powerful our SUBCONSCIOUS Mind IS.. we as humans only operate CONSCIENTIOUSLY about 8-10 % we spend our entire lives that we think we are in control of were not!! because 90 % of everything that happens to us or that we do in our lives is controlled by our SUBCONSCIOUS Mind … and the subconscious mind Works off WHAT WE BELIEVE !!!… so think and BELIEVE 100% im mean w/o 1% of ANY DOUBT that your going to go to play keno becasue it so fun winning money all the time that allows you to GIVE BACK more to HELP others in the world …. thats how I think .. when i wake up that morning im already visulising the HAND PAY attandent coming over my machine to do a CASH handpay and signing the tax form,, & her stacking hundreds in my held out hand.. and seeing that JOY on
her face as i give her a $500.00 tip. and Most importantly I FEEL AS I HAVE ALREADY WON IT . and I KNOW that I WILL NEVER LOOSE … lastnight i played the MYSTIC 3 spot at the 7-11 as i was walking out i said to my self let me get ANOTHER $1840.00 real quick so i could give every single Bum/Homeless/ indigents I see a $100.00 bill, and see the SHEAR UNBELIEVABLE HAPPINESS and JOYFULL SCOCK on the the Bums faces. it was cold out side now they can get some warm food or drink .. ( I’m telling you how i think and live my life .. and the more i GIVE the more i get !! i swear on it !!! so i pulled out a 20.00 dollar bill thinking im gonna MAX BET $5 bucks on each of the 4 cards and i visualizzed my self reaching out and KNOWING… i mean w/o any doubt that i will win max jackpot on all 4 cards off one press of the button . I HAVE DONE IT 53 times now 20 bucks one push of the button.. I always play overlapping 3 spots bc they hit almost every time on MAX BET ONLY .. this is KEY .. YOU MUST MAX BET TO WIN LIKE THIS .. by max betting it changes the payback odds on the machine to 99.9% pay back … let me say that THE MYSTIC GAMBLER KENO CHARTS have changed my life! His 3 spot set up allows me to have the PEACE OF MIND KNOWING that i HAVE THE ADVANTAGE not the casino.. and like the plecabo Affect.. I BELIEVE i will win EVERY TIME !!! And I DO … now dont get me wrong I LOOSE ALL THE TIME TOO but heres the diffrance.. the money i do loose is money i have just won meanin off that 20 bucks .. EXCTALY what i believed and knew would happen .. HAPPEND and i set up the MYSTIC GAMBLER MYSTIC 3 spot strategy.. and hit all 3 numbers on each winning me $1840.00 as it has 52 times before in the last two years!! i was not suprised bc i KNEW it was gonna happen lol . I continued to play and switched $5 denominations on the betting & to swiched to 8 spot setup and put back $500 of it because each press of the button is $100 bucks @ 5 credits per card @ $5 bucks a credit , is $25 dollars PER CARD @ 4 card that’s $100.00 with one press of the button !!! The money goes fast like this but its money i dident have before right … any ways i cash out $1340.00 & Tipped the clerk $340.00 made her cry with JOY ans HAPPINESS ,,, and walkd out with $ 1000.00 cash!!! i gave two bums out front a C-note each and MAD THERE WHOLE MONTH!! let alone made there night. one said he was now gonna go get a room for the night.. insted of freezing out side tonight …. so Rose to me if you get anything out of all this let it be this … KNOW YOUR A PRINCESS on this EARTH because your FATHER IS A GOD!!! meaning YOU ARE ROYALTY !!! BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE BEEN CLEANSED BY THE ROYAL BLOOD JESUS CHRIST!!! if so then you are ENTITLED and DESERVE the BEST THINGS THIS WORLD HAS TO OFFER.. and the only wat to have the best things is with MONEY right .. so JUST KNOW YOU HAVE NEVER ENDING SOURCE OF MONEY!!! and you ALWAYS WILL … SATAN CAUSES US TO DOUBT that WE can have ever have a MOVIE STAR LIFE STYLE … therefore most of us dont ! … but let me tell you you CAN ..

THANK YOU JESUS!!!! lol and winning THAT kind of money is LIFE CHANGING !!! So Rose In Closing I’d like to share with you the two most important reasons WHY I NEVER LOSE!!! is because i NEVER FORGET THE BASICS…#1.is ….. John-3:16 KJV- ” For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.!! AMEN and #2. is… Psalms-23:1-6 -(A Psalm of David.) 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
& thats ALL YOU EVER NEED TO KNOW IN THIS WORLD !!! GOD BLESS take care ! NEVER FORGET .. ” The more I GIVE the more i GET!! ….. Prince Albert 702 !
I like what you say. One secret that I haven’t shared is what I do before I go to the casino. I use self hypnosis, which is kind of like praying, in that I BELIEVE I’m going to win. I’ve made a special recording that I listen to. Maybe I’ll offer it as a new download item. But I don’t like to go to the casino if I don’t believe. I don’t know if most people understand what we mean when we say that we believe. When we say believe we mean that THERE IS NO DOUBT! It’s a great feeling and hard to describe. Losing is not even a possibility. Even in the midst of a slump – there is no doubt. It is the secret to winning more or even, in your case, winning period. Your strength of belief is outstanding. Go forth and BELIEVE.
I play 7 numbers always the sam numbers, I usually play .25 cents for an hour, then .50 cents for an hour, then .75 cents for an hour then $1.00 dollar for about 2 hours, I do not change the numbers, I keep the same pace of hitting the button , I press the same pressure on the play button the same way every time…I like the machines that do not pay back much, the ones that pay back at .25 for .25 cents or 50 cents for 4 I know not do well on them, it is the ones that pay very little are the ones I like to play, Sometimes I go from 100 to 200 dollars before I get 6 out of seven, If I hit 6 out of 7 , I go down to .25 cents for a few hours, they I go back to the every hour changing from .25 to .50 to .75 to 1.00. I have never hit 6 out of 6 twice on any machine…If I hit 6 out of 6, I will do 30 quick picks and then go back to the same 7 numbers I always play…once I lose 200 dollars going from .25 cents to a 1.00 I have been on the same machine for about 4 to 8 hours , I move up to 1.50 for half an hour, 2.00 dollars for half and hour, 2.50 for half an hour 3.00 dollars for half an hour…I usually hit a jacket Pot just about every time. Only hit 13,800 dollars, 5,000 about 3 times 7,000 once, lots of 350.00 about 3 or 4 times, 1,200 dollars about 6 times last year (2016)If I hit a jackpot I move to another machine and start all over with the .25 cents to 1.00 to 1.50 up to 3.00 dollars, I will do this until I get tired or sleepy….I do better at the Cheap .25 cent to a 1.00 max machines… I usually do not have to get more money out of the ATM machines, I usually only take $400.00 dollars to play for 3 to 4 days, If I hit for 5,000 or more I will play .25cents a play until I hit another jackpot of 1,200 , until I leave the Casino This way I do not give the Casino the money I won Back… I will go to another casino to play if I win a Jackpot of 5,000 dollars or more, So far I have been able to play with the money I have won from the Casino…I tend not to win much at the Indian Casinos, So unless I win 6 out 6 or more I play only .25 cents a bet…I do not really have a so call system,,,I just play the same numbers, and once in a while I will play about 30 games of quick pick then I go back to the same numbers I always play,,,I do not chance my numbers, I only do that after I hit a jacket pot or 6 out of 6 numbers. I have been playing this keno game for about 20 years and until 2016 I never won more than 1,200 dollars , I use to just play to last not to win…last year I start playing up to 3.00 dollars a game and that is when I started winning 5,000, 7,000, and 13,800, I do not always win a jackpot but at the same time I only have lost $400.00 dollars only one time in 5 days. I always feel I am going to hit a jackpot when I play Regular Video Keno, and I Play a machine that does not pay much for over a hour or so,,,I get nothing sometimes up to 200.00 dollars or so and then I will get 6 out of 6, with this money I can play until I get 7 out of 7 or I quit playing and just go to my room and watch TV or Drive around and see the sites, go to a movie or go to bed. I start gambling around 5:00 PM and I play until around 2.00AM or so, I try to play machines that do not pay much for a long time. I never change the machine once I get on that machine I stay with it until I leave…8 hours is about as long as I stay If I lose the 400 dollars which does not happen much, I would just wait until the Next time to start playing again with another 400 dollars.
