Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the the states by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a very easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as large jackpots are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrible odds.

Rationally, Keno happen upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to establish, and casino operators wanted to ensnare the big brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were accustomed to gambling on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with 21.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you could possibly play. If you are wanting a game of luck gamble on slot machines.
