Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US of A by Chinese immigrants in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it is a dead simple to play, and it is enjoyable as large jackpots are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrid odds.

Understandably, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and internet casino owners wanted to catch the huge land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many gamblers were used to wagering on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was hardly a hurdle than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lotteries.

Most internet keno games allow you to purchase 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.

Simple? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you can possibly gamble on. If you want a game of randomness gamble on slots.
