Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a very simple to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as substantial jackpots are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrid expectations.
Understandably, Keno happen upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino software operators wanted to benefit from the huge land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a problem than say with blackjack.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by appointing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy 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 gain more, if more of your spots hit, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there should be a catch? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the atrocious game you can possibly play. If you are wanting a game of randomness bet on slot machines.
