Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the the states by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a very simple to play, and it is enjoyable as big fortunes are available for very little bets. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrible odds.

Rationally, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino software operators wanted to catch the huge land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were used to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move online was hardly a hurdle than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.

Once you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots come up, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Absolutely. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the atrocious game you might possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of speculation gamble on slot machines.
