Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to play, and it is enjoyable as big jackpots are available for very little wagers. Keno is played at bars, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrid odds.

Understandably, Keno happen upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to establish, and casino software owners wanted to entice the big brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were used to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move online was hardly a encumbrance than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy countless tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Yeah. So there must be a problem? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you can possibly play. If you are looking for a game of luck gamble on slots.
