Think Carefully Before You Try Keno
Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to play, and it is enchanting as large jackpots are available for very small bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrendous odds.
By reason, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to establish, and casino software operators wanted to ensnare the huge land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many people were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant encumbrance than say with blackjack.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for future games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lottos.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy tickets between five 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? Yeah. So there should be a problem? Absolutely. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you could possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of speculation play slots.
