Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US of A by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a dead simple to enjoy, and it is appealing as big fortunes are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the world today.

What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were used to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a hurdle than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for future games.

Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lotteries.

Most internet keno games allow you to purchase cards between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.

Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Yeah. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you might possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of chance wager on slots.
