Keno

Keno, said to have originated in China, is a gambling game similar to bingo and lotteries. Thus, if you've ever played a lottery before it's safe to say you've already undergone enough keno therapy to understand the fundamentals of how to play the game.


But all kidding aside, today, modern keno games are enjoyed in both traditional brick and mortar casinos and via online casino websites, in addition to bingo halls and keno booths located throughout the world.


How Online Casino Keno Is Played

Keno is played with participants selecting any numbers ranging from 1 to 20. They then mark their selected numbers on their keno tickets which contain 80 numbers ranging from 1 to 80. Twenty numbers are then drawn randomly by the casino and players' winnings are paid out according to how much money the player had wagered and the number of matching numbers he or she selected on their keno ticket.


Not only is keno a much loved game among keno enthusiasts, it's also a favorite game for regular and online casino operators due to the fact that - more than any other casino games - keno provides the casino with the greatest edge over players. While most online casino games enjoy an advantage over players ranging anywhere from 1 to 5 percent, depending on the wagers, keno can offer over 50%.


Keno, thanks to immigrants from China, reached American shores way back in the 19th Century.
