Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a very easy to enjoy, and it is appealing as substantial prizes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrendous expectations.

Sensibly, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to build, and internet casino software operators wanted to capture the large brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant problem than say with 21.

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

After you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lotteries.

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

Easy? Yes. So there must be a catch? Yes. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you can possibly wager on. If you want a game of speculation bet on slot machines.
