Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead simple to enjoy, and it is appealing as large jackpots are offered for very little bets. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – terrible odds.

Understandably, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to develop, and casino operators wanted to capture the big land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy multiple tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-order for future games.

After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Yes. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big shot the atrocious game you might possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of speculation gamble on slot machines.
