Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the America by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is attractive as big jackpots are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – terrible odds.
By reason, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and online casino operators wanted to entice the big land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many gamblers were used to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant encumbrance than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy for future games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The gambling casino 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 long shot the awful game you can possibly play. If you are wanting a game of chance gamble on slots.
