Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the America by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely simple to play, and it is endearing as substantial prizes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – terrible expectations.
By reason, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and online casino software owners wanted to entice the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move online was less of a problem than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase cards between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you might possibly wager on. If you are looking for a game of chance wager on slots.
