Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely easy to play, and it is attractive as substantial fortunes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – horrendous expectations.
Logically, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to build, and internet casino owners wanted to ensnare the large brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were used to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move online was a insignificant problem than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy countless cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you might possibly play. If you are seeking a game of speculation play slot machines.
