Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is appealing as substantial fortunes are available for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrible odds.

Understandably, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to build, and online casino owners wanted to entice the big brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was less of a hurdle than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.

After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Yes. So there must be a catch? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you might possibly play. If you want a game of speculation bet on slots.
