Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it’s an absolutely easy to play, and it is attractive as big jackpots are offered for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrendous odds.
Understandably, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to build, and online casino operators wanted to benefit from the large brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase multiple tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you could possibly play. If you are looking for a game of chance wager on slot machines.
