Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to play, and it is appealing as big jackpots are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrid odds.
Understandably, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and online casino owners wanted to entice the giant land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant hurdle than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for future games.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there should be a problem? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the atrocious game you can possibly play. If you want a game of chance play slot machines.
