Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the America by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is attractive as substantial prizes are available for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrendous odds.

Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and internet casino operators wanted to capture the big land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to gambling on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant encumbrance than say with blackjack.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.

After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots appear, like with lottos.

Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.

Simple? Yes. So there should be a catch? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the atrocious game you could possibly play. If you are wanting a game of luck gamble on slots.
