Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is enjoyable as large prizes are available for very little wagers. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – terrible expectations.
By reason, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to create, and online casino software operators wanted to ensnare the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move online was hardly a problem than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 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 some games you can even pre-order for future games.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots hit, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the atrocious game you might possibly gamble on. If you want a game of luck play slots.
