Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as large prizes are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrendous expectations.

Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and online casino operators wanted to capture the big land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were used to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move online was a insignificant hurdle than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for games in the future.

Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Absolutely. The casino advantage with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you can possibly wager on. If you want a game of speculation bet on slots.
