Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese newcomers in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is enjoyable as large prizes are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – terrible odds.
Rationally, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino operators wanted to capture the huge land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were used to gambling on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a hurdle than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase cards between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there should be a catch? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you can possibly bet on. If you are seeking a game of chance gamble on slot machines.
