Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is a dead simple to enjoy, and it is endearing as large fortunes are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrendous odds.
Rationally, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and internet casino operators wanted to catch the large land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing 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 buy different cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots come up, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy cards between five 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 should be a problem? Yeah. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you can possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of luck play slots.
