Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the America by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a very simple to play, and it is appealing as substantial jackpots are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – horrid expectations.
Understandably, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to establish, and online casino owners wanted to benefit from the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy countless cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for future games.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there has to be a problem? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long margin the worst game you might possibly bet on. If you want a game of chance wager on slots.
