Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as large fortunes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – terrible odds.
Rationally, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to develop, and casino software owners wanted to benefit from the giant land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy countless tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for future games.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots hit, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to buy cards between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide shot the atrocious game you can possibly wager on. If you are seeking a game of chance bet on slot machines.
