Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US of A by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely simple to enjoy, and it is attractive as big prizes are available for very small wagers. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrendous expectations.

Understandably, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino software owners wanted to entice the giant land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many people were used to gambling on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy different cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for future games.

Once you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you might possibly gamble on. If you want a game of luck bet on slots.
