What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to gambling on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was hardly a hurdle than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.

Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the atrocious game you can possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of luck gamble on slot machines.
