Here&rsquo;s why.<\/p>\n<p>Keno comes from a French word, &ldquo;quine&rdquo; (pronounced &ldquo;keen&rdquo;), which means &ldquo;five winning numbers.&rdquo; An alternate definition of &ldquo;quine&rdquo; might also be &ldquo;What in the hell are you thinking?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s because keno has the worst odds in the casino, with a house edge of 25%. That&rsquo;s spectacularly awful, even to the math-challenged, like this blog.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9728\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9728\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/keno_sign.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-9728 \" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"keno\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/keno_sign.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9728\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An anagram for &ldquo;play keno&rdquo; is &ldquo;yank pole.&rdquo; We are not kidding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, unless you are looking for a way to rid yourself of all that pesky currency in your pockets, avoid keno at all costs.<\/p>\n<p>Big Six wheels, also called the &ldquo;Wheel of Fortune,&rdquo; are often placed at the front door of a casino, out where the newbie gamblers can see them. That&rsquo;s because the house edge is huge, and casinos (the aforementioned &ldquo;house&rdquo;) tend to love when that happens.<\/p>\n<p>Depending upon the number you&rsquo;re betting on, the house edge on the Big Six wheel can range from a terrible 11% to an appalling 24%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9729\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9729\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/big_six_wheel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-9729 \" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"Big Six wheel\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/big_six_wheel.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9729\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">If you insist upon playing the Big Six wheel, ask the pit boss if the casino will comp you some lube.
