Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lotto games, it’s a very simple to enjoy, and it is attractive as big jackpots are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrendous expectations.

Understandably, Keno ensconced its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and casino software owners wanted to capture the huge brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a hurdle than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots hit, like with lotteries.

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

Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Absolutely. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the awful game you can possibly gamble on. If you want a game of randomness gamble on slots.
