As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely simple to enjoy, and it is attractive as big fortunes are available for very little bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrendous expectations.
Rationally, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to develop, and internet casino software owners wanted to benefit from the big brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were used to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move online was a insignificant problem than say with blackjack.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase cards 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.
Simple? Absolutely. So there has to be a problem? Absolutely. The casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you can possibly wager on. If you are looking for a game of randomness gamble on slots.
