Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the America by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is enchanting as large prizes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrid expectations.

Rationally, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to build, and online casino software operators wanted to entice the large land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were used to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move online was less of a barrier than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lotteries.

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

Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you might possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of randomness gamble on slot machines.
