Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as big jackpots are available for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – terrible odds.

Sensibly, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to establish, and online casino owners wanted to ensnare the giant brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a barrier than say with 21.

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

Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots hit, like with lottos.

Most keno online games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.

Simple? Yes. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you could possibly bet on. If you want a game of chance bet on slot machines.
