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 newcomers in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is enchanting as big jackpots are available for very small bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrendous expectations.

Understandably, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and internet casino owners wanted to catch the big brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a problem than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for games in the future.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lotteries.

Most keno online games allow you to buy cards between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.

Easy? Yes. So there should be a problem? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the awful game you can possibly bet on. If you want a game of chance play slot machines.
