So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for future games.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy tickets between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
