Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US of A by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as big fortunes are offered for very little bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrid odds.

By reason, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and casino software operators wanted to benefit from the huge land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a hurdle than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by appointing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.

Most keno internet games allow you to buy cards between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.

Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you can possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of speculation play slots.
