Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a very simple to play, and it is attractive as substantial jackpots are available for very small wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrendous odds.

Understandably, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to create, and online casino software owners wanted to ensnare the huge land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.

After you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots surface, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Yes. So there must be a catch? Yes. The gambling casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long margin the worst game you can possibly play. If you are wanting a game of chance play slots.
