Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is a dead simple to enjoy, and it is appealing as large fortunes are available for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrible odds.

Rationally, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and online casino owners wanted to benefit from the giant brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for games in the future.

Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Yes. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the atrocious game you might possibly gamble on. If you are looking for a game of randomness bet on slot machines.
