Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to play, and it is appealing as substantial fortunes are available for very small wagers. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrid odds.

By reason, Keno ensconced its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to build, and online casino owners wanted to entice the huge land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a encumbrance than say with 21.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.

After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you could possibly gamble on. If you are looking for a game of speculation gamble on slots.
