Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the America by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is enjoyable as large jackpots are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrid odds.
Logically, Keno happen upon its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to create, and casino software owners wanted to catch the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many gamblers were used to gambling on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier than say with 21.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and five dollars, 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 problem? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the awful game you can possibly wager on. If you want a game of randomness play slot machines.
