Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese immigrants in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as large fortunes are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – terrible expectations.
Sensibly, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and casino software operators wanted to capture the big brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players 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 appointing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy countless tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for future games.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots surface, like with lottos.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy cards between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you might possibly play. If you are looking for a game of speculation play slot machines.
