Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a very simple to play, and it is attractive as large prizes are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrendous expectations.

Understandably, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to create, and online casino software operators wanted to capture the big land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many players were used to wagering on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy different cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-order for games in the future.

After you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots appear, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Yes. So there must be a problem? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you can possibly play. If you are wanting a game of chance play slots.
