Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a very simple to enjoy, and it is enchanting as big jackpots are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrendous expectations.

Logically, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and online casino operators wanted to catch the large land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many players were used to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.

Once you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Yes. The house advantage 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 awful game you could possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of speculation gamble on slot machines.
