Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese immigrants in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it is a very simple to enjoy, and it is appealing as large prizes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrid expectations.
Logically, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to build, and online casino software owners wanted to benefit from the giant land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were used to wagering on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was a insignificant problem than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy multiple tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots come up, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you might possibly bet on. If you are seeking a game of speculation bet on slot machines.
