Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese migrants in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to play, and it is endearing as large fortunes are available for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrible odds.
Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and casino operators wanted to capture the large brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase cards between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there should be a problem? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you can possibly gamble on. If you are looking for a game of randomness play slot machines.
