Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is a dead simple to play, and it is appealing as large jackpots are available for very little bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrendous expectations.

Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and internet casino operators wanted to ensnare the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a problem than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by appointing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.

Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Yes. So there has to be a problem? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you can possibly play. If you are looking for a game of randomness bet on slot machines.
