Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it’s an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is appealing as big jackpots are offered for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrendous expectations.
Understandably, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino owners wanted to ensnare the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were used to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by appointing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy different cards for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there should be a problem? Yeah. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the awful game you might possibly play. If you want a game of randomness gamble on slot machines.
