Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as big jackpots are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – terrible odds.

Sensibly, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino owners wanted to benefit from the giant land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many people were used to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.

Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lotteries.

Most online keno games allow you to purchase cards between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.

Easy? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you might possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of randomness play slots.
