Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as big jackpots are offered for very small wagers. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – terrible odds.

By reason, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to build, and online casino software operators wanted to entice the giant land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a encumbrance than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

Once you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots come up, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you might possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of luck wager on slot machines.
