Think Long And Hard Prior to Playing Keno
Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is attractive as big fortunes are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrid odds.
Logically, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to develop, and casino owners wanted to catch the huge brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many gamblers were used to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase different tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots surface, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Yes. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the atrocious game you could possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of randomness wager on slot machines.
