Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is enchanting as large prizes are offered for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrendous expectations.

By reason, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and casino software operators wanted to benefit from the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were used to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move online was less of a hurdle than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting 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 multiple tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for future games.

Once you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lotteries.

Most online keno games allow you to purchase cards between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.

Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you could possibly play. If you are seeking a game of randomness play slot machines.
