Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a very simple to play, and it is appealing as big jackpots are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrible expectations.

Rationally, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and internet casino software owners wanted to catch the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet 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 twenty-one.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-order for games in the future.

Once you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots come up, like with lotteries.

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

Easy? Yeah. So there should be a catch? Absolutely. The 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 big shot the awful game you can possibly wager on. If you are seeking a game of speculation bet on slots.
