Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as substantial prizes are available for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – terrible expectations.
Rationally, Keno happen upon its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to build, and casino software operators wanted to catch the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were used to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move online was hardly a barrier than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy different tickets for the same draw, and in many 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 drawn, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.
Most keno online games allow you to purchase cards between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there has to be a problem? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the atrocious game you might possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of luck bet on slot machines.
