Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US of A by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth aeon. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as substantial prizes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrible odds.
Rationally, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and internet casino software owners wanted to ensnare the large brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were used to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move online was hardly a problem than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many cards for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you could possibly wager on. If you are seeking a game of luck play slot machines.
