Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the America by Chinese migrants in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is a dead simple to play, and it is endearing as large prizes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – terrible expectations.

Understandably, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and online casino operators wanted to catch the large land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were used to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move online was less of a problem than say with 21.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.

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

Most keno online games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.

Easy? Absolutely. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you might possibly play. If you are wanting a game of luck play slot machines.
