Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it’s a very easy to play, and it is enchanting as substantial fortunes are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – terrible odds.

Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and internet casino owners wanted to benefit from the large brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a hurdle than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for future games.

Once you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.

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

Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Absolutely. The casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the awful game you could possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of randomness wager on slot machines.
