Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it is a dead simple to enjoy, and it is appealing as large prizes are available for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrid expectations.
Logically, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to build, and online casino software operators wanted to entice the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to gambling on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier 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 buy different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for future games.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there must be a catch? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the atrocious game you could possibly bet on. If you are seeking a game of chance wager on slots.
