Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a dead easy to play, and it is appealing as big fortunes are available for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at bars, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrendous odds.

Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino software owners wanted to ensnare the big land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was a insignificant encumbrance than say with 21.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for future games.

After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lotteries.

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

Easy? Absolutely. So there has to be a problem? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the atrocious game you can possibly play. If you want a game of randomness play slots.
