Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is appealing as large prizes are offered for very little bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – terrible expectations.

Logically, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to create, and casino software operators wanted to catch the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a hurdle than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots surface, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Absolutely. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you could possibly play. If you are wanting a game of luck wager on slots.
