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 migrants in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is appealing as large prizes are available for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrid expectations.

Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to create, and online casino software operators wanted to catch the big brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a hurdle than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-order for future games.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots come up, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you might possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of luck play slots.
