Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US of A by Chinese newcomers in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it’s a very simple to play, and it is attractive as large jackpots are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrid expectations.
Logically, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to build, and casino software owners wanted to catch the huge land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video terminals, so the move online was less of a barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most keno online games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there must be a catch? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you could possibly play. If you want a game of randomness gamble on slot machines.
