When most people think of a casino, their minds immediately jump to slots, blackjack, and the roulette wheel.
Games like Keno, Sic Bo, and Bingo offer completely different pacing and mechanics compared to traditional card games.
The Lottery-Style Appeal of Keno
Keno is essentially a rapid-fire lottery game played directly on the casino floor or in a dedicated lounge.
The main appeal of Keno is the potential to win a massive jackpot from a very small one-dollar wager.
- It is the perfect game to play passively while eating at a casino restaurant
- The odds of hitting all 20 numbers are statistically worse than getting struck by lightning
- Online video Keno moves much faster than the live version played in physical resorts
Sic Bo: The Ancient Dice Game
While craps uses two dice, Sic Bo uses three, creating a massive board of different betting combinations.
The safest bets are ‘Small’ (totals 4-10) and ‘Big’ (totals 11-17), which offer a low house edge similar to roulette.
| Niche Game | Pacing | Skill Level Required |
|---|---|---|
| Live Bingo | Very Slow | None |
| Video Keno | Fast | None |
While they shouldn’t make up your core strategy, throwing a few dollars at a Keno ticket is always good fun.
