Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the America by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth aeon. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to play, and it is attractive as large prizes are available for very small bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrible expectations.

Understandably, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to establish, and online casino owners wanted to benefit from the huge brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to gambling on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a hurdle 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 selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.

Once you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots surface, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Yes. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you could possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of luck wager on slot machines.
