Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as big prizes are available for very small wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrendous expectations.

Logically, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to create, and casino operators wanted to entice the huge land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were used to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was hardly a hurdle than say with twenty-one.

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 called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

After you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.

Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents 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 catch? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you can possibly wager on. If you want a game of chance wager on slot machines.
