Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is a very simple to play, and it is enjoyable as big prizes are available for very little bets. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrendous expectations.

Understandably, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to create, and online casino software owners wanted to benefit from the giant brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many players were accustomed to wagering on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was hardly a problem than say with 21.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for future games.

Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers surface, 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 card value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.

Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big shot the atrocious game you can possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of luck wager on slots.
