Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US of A by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it is a dead easy to play, and it is endearing as big prizes are offered for very little bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrendous expectations.
Sensibly, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to build, and internet casino operators wanted to ensnare the huge land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were used to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a hurdle than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase cards between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the awful game you can possibly bet on. If you are seeking a game of speculation play slot machines.
