Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely easy to play, and it is endearing as substantial fortunes are available for very little wagers. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrible expectations.

Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and casino software owners wanted to catch the giant brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many gamblers were used to wagering on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting 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 purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.

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

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

Easy? Yes. So there should be a catch? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you might possibly wager on. If you are seeking a game of chance wager on slots.
