For most iBingo members, the initial draw to this website was the ability to play online bingo. And almost certainly, bingo will ever remain our most popular game. But now and then a change is good. It’s comforting to know that you can play games other than bingo without having to leave the iBingo site.

Online Keno is a natural alternative game choice for bingo players. There are several similarities between the two games, so the learning curve in switching to online keno is very quick. In keno, just as in bingo, numbers are called and you win if the called numbers match those on your card. There are of course several differences. For instance, consider what happens if there’s more than one winner. In bingo, the jackpot is split between the winners. In Keno, you win the whole jackpot even if there is more than one winner! It’s differences like this that make online Keno such an interesting alternative.

The differences between online bingo and online keno

In online bingo, you can pick cards which happen to have numbers you like. With online keno, you can take this concept even further and pick all the numbers you like. This flexibility is very appealing to those who have “lucky numbers” they like to play. (Of course, in neither game do you have to pick cards or numbers. For those who don’t believe in lucky numbers, you can let the computer pick at random.)

Another difference between the two games is how and when they end. In bingo, numbers keep getting called until someone wins by completing the pattern of the game. There is no telling how many numbers will be called before someone gets a bingo. Online keno is different: in every game, exactly twenty numbers are called and then the game is over. By guessing the numbers correctly you will be able to win great prizes.

Both bingo and keno will continue to flourish as online games. Players around the world love the fun, sense of community, and ability to win prizes that these games present. Online bingo is perhaps more traditional, but online keno is becoming more and more popular. If you haven’t already, give keno a try: it’s a natural second choice for the seasoned bingo player!
