Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is a very simple to enjoy, and it is appealing as substantial prizes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – terrible odds.
Understandably, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to establish, and online casino owners wanted to capture the huge land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were used to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple cards for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there should be a problem? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long margin the awful game you could possibly play. If you want a game of randomness wager on slots.
