Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead easy to enjoy, and it is appealing as big fortunes are available for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrendous odds.

Rationally, Keno happen upon its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and casino owners wanted to capture the big brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many gamblers were used to wagering on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was hardly a hurdle than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy countless tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for future games.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots surface, like with lotteries.

Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.

Easy? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you might possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of speculation play slot machines.
