Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it is a dead simple to play, and it is endearing as substantial prizes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrendous odds.

Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino operators wanted to capture the large land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move online was less of a barrier than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 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 a few games you can even pre-buy for future games.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lotteries.

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

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