Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is appealing as large fortunes are offered for very little bets. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrid odds.
Understandably, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to create, and online casino software operators wanted to capture the big land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were used to gambling on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant problem than say with 21.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you could possibly play. If you are seeking a game of luck play slots.
