Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a dead simple to play, and it is enjoyable as substantial fortunes are offered for very little wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – horrid odds.

Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to develop, and casino software owners wanted to capture the huge land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many players were used to wagering on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a hurdle than say with 21.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase multiple tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.

Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Absolutely. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you might possibly gamble on. If you are looking for a game of luck gamble on slot machines.
