Ponder For a Long Time Prior to Playing Keno

Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is attractive as large jackpots are offered for very little wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrid expectations.

By reason, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and online casino owners wanted to capture the large land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were used to betting on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy many cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots surface, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the atrocious game you could possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of randomness play slots.
