Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is attractive as big jackpots are available for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – terrible expectations.
Sensibly, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and online casino operators wanted to ensnare the big brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy many cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for future games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lotteries.
Most keno online games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Absolutely. So there must be a problem? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the worst game you might possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of speculation wager on slots.
