Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese immigrants in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is endearing as substantial fortunes are available for very small wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrendous expectations.
By reason, Keno happen upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and casino owners wanted to capture the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant hurdle than say with blackjack.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for future games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy cards between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yes. The casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you could possibly wager on. If you are seeking a game of speculation wager on slot machines.
