Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US of A by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is appealing as substantial prizes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrible expectations.

Logically, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to create, and casino software owners wanted to benefit from the giant land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many players were used to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant hurdle than say with 21.

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

Once you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lotteries.

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

Easy? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you could possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of speculation play slots.
