Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a very simple to play, and it is attractive as large prizes are available for very little wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – terrible expectations.
Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino software owners wanted to catch the large land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was a insignificant barrier than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase multiple tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for future games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lotteries.
Most keno online games allow you to buy cards between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there should be a catch? Yeah. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you can possibly gamble on. If you want a game of speculation gamble on slots.
