Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar 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 appealing as large fortunes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrendous expectations.

Understandably, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and online casino operators wanted to catch the giant brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was hardly a barrier than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice 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 future games.

Once you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots come up, like with lotteries.

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

Easy? Yeah. So there should be a catch? Absolutely. The casino advantage with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you might possibly play. If you want a game of chance gamble on slot machines.
