Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as substantial jackpots are available for very small wagers. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – horrible odds.

Rationally, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and internet casino software owners wanted to capture the big land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were accustomed to gambling on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a encumbrance than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Yes. So there should be a problem? Yes. The casino advantage with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you might possibly wager on. If you want a game of speculation bet on slots.
