Ponder Carefully Prior to Playing Keno

Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is enjoyable as large fortunes are offered for very small bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrid expectations.

By reason, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino operators wanted to capture the large brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many players were used to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a hurdle than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for future games.

Once you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots hit, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you might possibly gamble on. If you are looking for a game of luck play slot machines.
