Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the America by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it is a very simple to play, and it is endearing as substantial prizes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – horrible odds.

Understandably, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and internet casino software owners wanted to benefit from the giant land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many people were used to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a hurdle than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-order for games in the future.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.

Most keno online games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.

Easy? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Yeah. The gambling casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the atrocious game you can possibly bet on. If you are seeking a game of luck play slot machines.
