Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese newcomers in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it’s a very easy to play, and it is endearing as substantial fortunes are available for very little bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrid odds.

Logically, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and online casino software operators wanted to catch the huge land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour 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 encumbrance than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for future games.

Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots surface, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Absolutely. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The gambling casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you could possibly play. If you are wanting a game of randomness bet on slot machines.
