Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to play, and it is appealing as substantial jackpots are available for very little bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrible odds.
Understandably, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and casino operators wanted to benefit from the big land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant problem than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there has to be a problem? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the atrocious game you might possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of speculation play slots.
