Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is attractive as substantial fortunes are available for very small wagers. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrid expectations.

Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and casino owners wanted to catch the giant land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with 21.

So here is how you enjoy 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 countless cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you can possibly play. If you are seeking a game of speculation play slot machines.
