Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to enjoy, and it is appealing as big prizes are available for very small wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – terrible expectations.
Sensibly, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to build, and online casino software owners wanted to benefit from the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many players were used to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was hardly a barrier than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-order for future games.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there has to be a problem? Yes. The house edge with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you could possibly play. If you are looking for a game of luck gamble on slots.
