Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is a very simple to play, and it is appealing as large jackpots are available for very small wagers. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – horrid expectations.

Rationally, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino software owners wanted to catch the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to gambling on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a problem than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy countless tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you could possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of luck gamble on slot machines.
