Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as large prizes are available for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrible expectations.
Understandably, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to build, and internet casino software operators wanted to ensnare the large land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were used to wagering on Keno on video terminals, 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 four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase different tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots come up, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase cards between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you might possibly play. If you are wanting a game of randomness gamble on slot machines.
