Strategies

Bad ideas. Good data.

Welcome to the Strategy Workshop.

Every video keno enthusiast eventually develops a theory.

Some are clever.

Some are mathematically interesting.

And some are what happen when a person combines six vodka sodas with an extraordinarily selective memory.

Keno Dude believes theories deserve to be tested.

Not worshipped.

The strategy collection

Banzai

One of Keno Dude's named strategies.

Full mechanics and analysis coming after the strategy has been properly documented and reviewed.

The Leech

Another member of the experimental strategy collection.

Despite the name, The Leech is not a member of The Entourage. It is a strategy.

Its operating rules and test results will be published separately.

What makes a good experiment?

Start with clearly defined rules.

Record the paytable.

Specify the card selections and wagers.

Run enough trials to produce meaningful results.

Then examine the outcomes without pretending a lucky run constitutes scientific proof.

Expected return vs. the ride

Two approaches can create very different playing experiences.

Some produce relatively frequent smaller payouts. Others involve longer dry spells and occasional larger wins.

Keno Lab is designed to help quantify those differences.

The aim is to distinguish mathematical expectation from the emotional roller coaster of the individual session.
