What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many people were used to wagering on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
After you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you could possibly play. If you want a game of randomness wager on slot machines.
