Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is enchanting as substantial prizes are available for very small wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrendous odds.

Logically, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and internet casino owners wanted to ensnare the large land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to gambling on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was a insignificant problem than say with 21.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Absolutely. So there has to be a problem? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you can possibly gamble on. If you are looking for a game of luck play slot machines.
