Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead simple to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as big fortunes are available for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – terrible odds.

Understandably, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to create, and online casino owners wanted to entice the giant land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many players were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy countless cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the awful game you could possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of speculation play slot machines.
