Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese newcomers in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as big jackpots are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – horrendous expectations.
Sensibly, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to create, and internet casino operators wanted to entice the big brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move online was a insignificant encumbrance than say with 21.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy countless cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots hit, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Yes. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you can possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of speculation wager on slot machines.
