Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the America by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is appealing as substantial jackpots are available for very little bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – terrible odds.
Sensibly, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and casino owners wanted to catch the large brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant hurdle than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots hit, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long margin the atrocious game you could possibly gamble on. If you are seeking a game of chance play slots.
