[ English ]

Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lotto games, it is a dead simple to enjoy, and it is enchanting as substantial jackpots are offered for very small bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrendous expectations.

Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to create, and online casino software operators wanted to entice the big land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many players were used to gambling on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy countless cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Yes. So there has to be a problem? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you can possibly play. If you are wanting a game of speculation gamble on slots.
