Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US of A by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it’s a very easy to play, and it is appealing as big jackpots are offered for very small wagers. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – terrible odds.
Understandably, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to build, and casino operators wanted to catch the huge land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was a insignificant barrier than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lotteries.
Most internet 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? Yeah. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you could possibly gamble on. If you want a game of speculation gamble on slot machines.
