Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is a very simple to play, and it is appealing as big fortunes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at bars, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrendous odds.

By reason, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and internet casino owners wanted to benefit from the big land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a hurdle than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy multiple 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 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big shot the awful game you might possibly play. If you are looking for a game of speculation wager on slot machines.
