Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely simple to enjoy, and it is endearing as substantial fortunes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – terrible expectations.

Logically, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to create, and casino operators wanted to capture the huge land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with 21.

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

After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you can possibly gamble on. If you are looking for a game of speculation play slot machines.
