Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is enchanting as large prizes are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrible odds.

Logically, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to establish, and casino operators wanted to ensnare the large brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many players were used to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for future games.

Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Yes. So there has to be a problem? Yes. The house edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the atrocious game you might possibly play. If you are looking for a game of randomness bet on slot machines.
