Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as big jackpots are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrendous expectations.

Logically, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to build, and internet casino software operators wanted to benefit from the large brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were used to wagering on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a encumbrance than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy countless tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for future games.

After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.

Most internet keno games allow you to buy cards between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.

Simple? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Absolutely. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you can possibly gamble on. If you want a game of speculation bet on slots.
