Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as large fortunes are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrid odds.

Understandably, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to establish, and internet casino software owners wanted to catch the large land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many gamblers were used to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant hurdle than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in a few 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 numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots hit, like with lottos.

Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.

Easy? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Yeah. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you might possibly gamble on. If you are seeking a game of luck gamble on slots.
