Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as big 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 – horrendous expectations.

Sensibly, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and casino software owners wanted to benefit from the huge brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many gamblers were used to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with blackjack.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-order for future games.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots hit, like with lotteries.

Most online keno games allow you to buy tickets between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.

Simple? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Absolutely. The gambling casino edge 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 long margin the awful game you might possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of randomness wager on slot machines.
