Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is endearing as substantial prizes are available 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 – horrid odds.
Logically, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and casino software owners wanted to entice the large land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by appointing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy countless tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase 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? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you might possibly play. If you are looking for a game of luck gamble on slot machines.
