Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is attractive as substantial fortunes are available for very small wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrible expectations.
Logically, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to create, and online casino owners wanted to benefit from the large land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many gamblers were used to gambling on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was a insignificant barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase countless tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots appear, like with lottos.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy cards between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. 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 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you can possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of luck play slot machines.
