Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a dead easy to play, and it is enjoyable as large fortunes are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrible expectations.
Logically, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino operators wanted to benefit from the big brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. 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 online was a insignificant encumbrance than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by appointing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there should be a catch? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you can possibly play. If you want a game of chance wager on slots.
