Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead simple to enjoy, and it is appealing as large jackpots are available for very small wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrible expectations.
Understandably, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to develop, and casino owners wanted to benefit from the big brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were used to wagering on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a hurdle than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Absolutely. So there has to be a problem? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the awful game you might possibly gamble on. If you are seeking a game of chance bet on slots.
