Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to play, and it is attractive as substantial jackpots are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrid expectations.

Logically, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to establish, and online casino software owners wanted to catch the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were used to gambling on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a problem than say with blackjack.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.

Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lotteries.

Most internet keno games allow you to purchase cards between 5 cents and 5 dollars, 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? Yeah. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you could possibly bet on. If you are seeking a game of chance play slot machines.
