Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it’s an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as large fortunes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrendous expectations.
Understandably, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino software operators wanted to capture the huge land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a hurdle than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice 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-order for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase cards between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you might possibly gamble on. If you want a game of randomness play slot machines.
