Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the America by Chinese newcomers in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as substantial jackpots are offered for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrendous odds.
Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to build, and casino software operators wanted to ensnare the huge land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were used to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper 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 internet keno games allow you to purchase cards between five cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the atrocious game you might possibly play. If you want a game of luck play slots.
