Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to play, and it is enchanting as large prizes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrendous odds.

Sensibly, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and online casino software owners wanted to catch the large brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many players were used to gambling on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.

Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lotteries.

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

Easy? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you can possibly gamble on. If you want a game of luck gamble on slot machines.
