Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely easy to play, and it is enjoyable as big fortunes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrid odds.
Logically, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to build, and online casino operators wanted to benefit from the giant land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move online was less of a problem 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 eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots hit, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there has to be a problem? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you could possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of chance bet on slots.
