Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth aeon. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is attractive as big fortunes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrid expectations.
Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino operators wanted to capture the giant land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video terminals, 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 choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there has to be a catch? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you might possibly wager on. If you want a game of luck bet on slot machines.
