Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to play, and it is enchanting as large fortunes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrid odds.

Logically, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and online casino software owners wanted to ensnare the large land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many players were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move online was less of a problem than say with 21.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by appointing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Yes. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the awful game you could possibly play. If you want a game of speculation play slots.
