Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it is a very simple to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as large fortunes are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrible odds.
Logically, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and casino owners wanted to capture the giant land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were used to wagering on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was less of a barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy countless tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" 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 lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there should be a catch? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the atrocious game you could possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of speculation bet on slots.
