Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is a dead easy to play, and it is endearing as large jackpots are available for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrid odds.

Understandably, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and casino owners wanted to catch the large land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were used to betting on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant encumbrance than say with blackjack.

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 buy countless cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-order for future games.

After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Yes. The casino advantage with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you might possibly wager on. If you want a game of luck play slot machines.
