Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is attractive as large prizes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrendous expectations.

Understandably, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to establish, and casino software owners wanted to capture the large land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was less of a hurdle than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy countless cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for future games.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots come up, like with lotteries.

Most keno online games allow you to buy cards between five cents 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? Absolutely. The casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you can possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of luck gamble on slots.
