Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US of A by Chinese newcomers in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is enjoyable as big jackpots are available for very tiny bets. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrible expectations.
Understandably, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to develop, and internet casino software operators wanted to ensnare the huge land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many people were used to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase countless tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre purchase for future games.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Yes. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you can possibly play. If you want a game of randomness gamble on slots.
