Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is enchanting as large fortunes are offered for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrible expectations.

Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to create, and internet casino owners wanted to catch the huge land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many people were used to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with 21.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the atrocious game you might possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of luck play slot machines.
