Think Long And Hard Before You Play Keno
Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as large fortunes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrid odds.
By reason, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to establish, and casino operators wanted to catch the huge land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were used to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots surface, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there must be a catch? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you can possibly wager on. If you want a game of randomness wager on slot machines.
