Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese newcomers in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is appealing as big fortunes are offered for very small bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrid odds.
Logically, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to build, and casino operators wanted to catch the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-order for future games.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy cards between 5 cents and $5, 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? Yeah. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the worst game you could possibly wager on. If you are looking for a game of speculation wager on slot machines.
