Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is attractive as big fortunes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrid odds.
Sensibly, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and casino operators wanted to ensnare the giant land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy multiple cards for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously come away with 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 ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there has to be a problem? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you could possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of randomness wager on slots.
