Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese immigrants in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is enjoyable as substantial jackpots are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrid odds.
Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to develop, and online casino software owners wanted to catch the big land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many players were used to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move online was less of a hurdle than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by appointing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy different tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-order for future games.
Once you have submitted your choices, 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 earn more, if more of your spots appear, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you could possibly play. If you are wanting a game of chance bet on slot machines.
