Keno is a casino game of plain chance and is very similar to Lotto games. Keno was brought to the USA by Chinese expatriates in the 1800’s. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to wager, and it is attractive as huge jackpots are available for very minute wagers. Keno is bet on at pubs, discos and community centers all around the globe today. Unfortunately it shares another similarities with lotto games – horrendous odds.
Rationally, Keno worked its way into web betting houses as it was a simple game to build, and casino providers wanted to catch the big land based Keno players on the web. What helped even more for web betting houses was that many folks were used to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on the internet was less of a problem than say with blackjack.
So here is how you bet on Keno. You start by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In most online keno games, you can buy multiple tickets for the same draw, and in certain games you can even pre purchase for up-coming games.
As soon as you have submitted your picks, 20 numbered balls will "fall" into a tube from a barrel. If sufficient of your spots are selected, you succeed. That simple. You will obviously earn more if more of your numbers come up, like with lotteries. Many online keno games permit you to buy tickets between 5 cents and five dollars, and payout in multiples of your ticket value. JackpotGrand prizes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
A snap? Absolutely. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any net casino game. The odds of landing on a number is point two-fivepercent. Keno is by a long margin the worst casino game you could possibly play. If you are looking for a game of luck wager on video slots. If you like to throw money away, compete in Keno. Very few players actually make any real returns.
