Think Long And Hard Before You Wager on Keno
Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the the states by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is an absolutely simple to enjoy, and it is enchanting as substantial fortunes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrendous odds.
Rationally, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to establish, and internet casino operators wanted to entice the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many players were used to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a problem than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for future games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lottos.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there must be a catch? Yes. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you could possibly play. If you want a game of luck gamble on slots.
