Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese newcomers in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it’s a very simple to play, and it is attractive as big fortunes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrid odds.
Rationally, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to establish, and casino software operators wanted to ensnare the big brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to gambling on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was a insignificant barrier than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots appear, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you could possibly gamble on. If you are seeking a game of chance bet on slot machines.
