Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US of A by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it’s a very simple to play, and it is appealing as big prizes are available for very small wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrible expectations.
Understandably, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino software owners wanted to ensnare the big brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was hardly a barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase tickets between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the atrocious game you could possibly bet on. If you want a game of speculation wager on slots.
