Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the America by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is endearing as big jackpots are offered for very small wagers. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrid odds.
Logically, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to create, and casino software owners wanted to ensnare the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a hurdle than say with 21.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots hit, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to buy tickets between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Yes. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the atrocious game you might possibly wager on. If you want a game of randomness wager on slot machines.
