Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to play, and it is endearing as large prizes are offered for very little bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrid expectations.

Rationally, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to create, and online casino software owners wanted to ensnare the large brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with twenty-one.

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 called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.

Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Yes. So there should be a catch? Yes. The casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the atrocious game you could possibly wager on. If you want a game of chance bet on slots.
