Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it is a dead simple to enjoy, and it is appealing as big prizes are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrid expectations.
Sensibly, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and online casino owners wanted to benefit from the big land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a problem than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by appointing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for future games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase cards between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yeah. So there should be a catch? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long margin the worst game you could possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of luck gamble on slot machines.
