Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the America by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a dead simple to enjoy, and it is endearing as large jackpots are offered for very small wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrid expectations.
Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to create, and casino software operators wanted to ensnare the large land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many gamblers were used to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for future games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and 5 dollars, 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 catch? Absolutely. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the atrocious game you can possibly play. If you are seeking a game of speculation gamble on slots.
