Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is a dead simple to play, and it is attractive as big prizes are available for very small bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrendous odds.

By reason, Keno ensconced its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino owners wanted to benefit from the big brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a hurdle than say with blackjack.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.

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

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

Easy? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yes. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the worst game you could possibly wager on. If you are seeking a game of chance play slots.
