Ponder Carefully Prior to Playing Keno

Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the the states by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is appealing as big fortunes are available for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and rec center all over the world today.

What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video 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 begin by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lotteries.

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