Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely simple to play, and it is attractive as big jackpots are available for very tiny bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrible odds.
By reason, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and online casino owners wanted to ensnare the giant brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many players were used to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off 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 purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Absolutely. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you can possibly play. If you are looking for a game of speculation bet on slot machines.
