Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a very simple to enjoy, and it is attractive as big fortunes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrendous expectations.

Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to create, and casino software owners wanted to entice the huge land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were used to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move online was less of a barrier than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase multiple tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for future games.

Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Yeah. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you might possibly gamble on. If you are seeking a game of chance gamble on slots.
