Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a very simple to enjoy, and it is appealing as big prizes are offered for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrendous expectations.

Logically, Keno ensconced its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to establish, and online casino software owners wanted to catch the big land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were used to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a problem than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lotteries.

Most keno internet games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.

Simple? Yes. So there should be a catch? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you could possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of speculation wager on slots.
