Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely simple to play, and it is endearing as substantial jackpots are offered for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrid expectations.

Rationally, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to establish, and internet casino software operators wanted to ensnare the giant brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a hurdle than say with 21.

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

After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the atrocious game you can possibly bet on. If you want a game of randomness play slots.
