Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese newcomers in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it’s a very easy to enjoy, and it is enchanting as substantial prizes are available for very little wagers. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrible expectations.
Understandably, Keno ensconced its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to develop, and online casino software operators wanted to ensnare the large brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were used to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase multiple tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the awful game you can possibly play. If you are seeking a game of chance gamble on slot machines.
