Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is an absolutely simple to enjoy, and it is attractive as big fortunes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrid expectations.
Logically, Keno happen upon its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to create, and casino operators wanted to entice the big land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on video terminals, so the move online was a insignificant barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy multiple tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase tickets between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the atrocious game you can possibly gamble on. If you want a game of luck wager on slot machines.
