Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is appealing as big fortunes are available for very small wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrendous expectations.

Rationally, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to build, and casino software owners wanted to capture the giant brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were used to wagering on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a hurdle than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lotteries.

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

Easy? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The gambling casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you might possibly play. If you are looking for a game of randomness bet on slot machines.
