Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the America by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a very easy to play, and it is appealing as big fortunes are available for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – terrible expectations.
By reason, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino operators wanted to entice the huge brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was a insignificant barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy different tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for future games.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots appear, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c 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 has to be a problem? Absolutely. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you can possibly play. If you want a game of speculation gamble on slot machines.
