History of Keno<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Keno is a game of chance that closely resembles the lottery. It is offered by many national lotteries but it\u2019s more commonly found in online casinos. The name has French or Latin roots, but according to historians, it originated in China. According to legends, it saved an ancient city in wartime, and its popularity may have also helped raise funds to build the Great Wall of China.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that the game was a big part of ancient Chinese culture, and its popularity has skyrocketed thanks to the online casino introduction. The Chinese originally played the game using sheets printed with Chinese characters. These were often the first 80 characters from the Thousand Character Classic, and the winning ones were selected from them.<\/p>\n

The game was spread to the West by Chinese immigrants, finding a major fanbase across the Pacific Ocean. By the end of the XIX century, it became a big hit in Texas under the name keno. It has enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent years and it\u2019s all thanks to the online variant. Online keno is played similar to lotteries and bingo and controlled by a Random Number Generator (RNG) that ensures you\u2019re getting a fair outcome per each round.<\/p>\n

How to Play Online Keno<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Real money keno online is very easy to play. If you ever played bingo or the lottery, you most likely know what to do. In general, you\u2019ll be picking numbers from a giant grid. Unlike the lottery, the numbers go from 1 to 80. In typical online keno games, there will be eight rows with 10 numbers each.<\/p>\n

Online keno differs from other lottery-like games in payouts. The paytable is available in each online keno game. When playing keno, you won\u2019t necessarily get paid for hitting more numbers. Instead, you get paid if the percentage of numbers is high. If you catch six out of six, you might hit a 2,000x jackpot. But, if you hit 6 out of 14, the payout can be as low as 2x. Of course, this all depends on the type of keno game and the developer.<\/p>\n

Many keno games online have a Quick Pick option that lets the game decide for you. It will pick the numbers if you\u2019re having doubts, although it\u2019s best to pick them yourself. Many online keno games will have other features too such as saving numbers for future use. They all have a guide and can be tried for free, so even if you\u2019re new to online keno, you shouldn\u2019t have a lot of trouble playing it for the first time.<\/p>\n
