So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy different cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots come up, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy cards between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
