Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese migrants in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is a dead simple to enjoy, and it is endearing as large prizes are available for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrible odds.

Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and online casino software owners wanted to benefit from the big brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with chemin de fer.

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 called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy different tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for future games.

Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots surface, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you can possibly wager on. If you are looking for a game of luck gamble on slot machines.
