Think For a Long Time Before You Gamble on Keno
Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a very easy to enjoy, and it is enchanting as large fortunes are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – terrible expectations.
Logically, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and internet casino owners wanted to catch the big brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move online was hardly a barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for future games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there should be a problem? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long margin the worst game you could possibly bet on. If you want a game of luck wager on slots.
