Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US of A by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it’s a very easy to enjoy, and it is enchanting as large jackpots are offered for very small bets.

What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many players were accustomed to gambling on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a problem than say with 21.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy for future games.

After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lotteries.

Most internet keno games allow you to buy tickets between five cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.

Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Yeah. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the worst game you could possibly gamble on. If you are looking for a game of luck play slot machines.
