Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it is a very simple to play, and it is attractive as large jackpots are available for very small bets. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrible expectations.
Rationally, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and casino operators wanted to benefit from the big brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many players were used to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move online was hardly a encumbrance than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase cards between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Yeah. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the atrocious game you might possibly wager on. If you are seeking a game of speculation bet on slot machines.
