Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is attractive as substantial prizes are available for very little wagers. Keno is played at bars, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – terrible expectations.
By reason, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and internet casino software operators wanted to capture the large brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a encumbrance than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by appointing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for future games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lottos.
Most keno internet 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 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there must be a problem? Yes. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the atrocious game you can possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of luck gamble on slot machines.
