Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it’s a very easy to play, and it is endearing as large prizes are offered for very little bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – terrible expectations.

Logically, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to build, and online casino software owners wanted to capture the giant land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were used to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier than say with blackjack.

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

After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots surface, like with lotteries.

Most internet keno games allow you to buy tickets between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.

Simple? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The house advantage with Keno is 30% 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 could possibly play. If you want a game of chance bet on slots.
