Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it’s a very easy to play, and it is enjoyable as substantial prizes are offered for very little wagers. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – terrible expectations.

Sensibly, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and online casino owners wanted to capture the big land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a problem than say with 21.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for future games.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you can possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of randomness bet on slot machines.
