Think Long And Hard Before You Try Keno
Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely simple to play, and it is enjoyable as large prizes are available for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrendous odds.
Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and online casino software operators wanted to catch the giant land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on video screens, so the move online was hardly a barrier than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy countless cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you could possibly wager on. If you are looking for a game of speculation wager on slots.
