Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese migrants in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it is a very simple to play, and it is attractive as substantial fortunes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – terrible odds.

Understandably, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and casino operators wanted to catch the big land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase countless tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for future games.

After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lottos.

Most keno internet games allow you to buy cards between five cents and 5 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 casino advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big shot the atrocious game you might possibly gamble on. If you want a game of speculation gamble on slots.
