Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it’s an absolutely simple to enjoy, and it is attractive as substantial prizes are offered for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrendous odds.

Sensibly, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and casino software operators wanted to catch the giant land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many players were used to gambling on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was hardly a hurdle than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin 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 buy different tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.

Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the atrocious game you can possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of randomness wager on slots.
