Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US of A by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely simple to enjoy, and it is appealing as large fortunes are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – terrible expectations.
Logically, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to establish, and casino software operators wanted to benefit from the giant brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many players were used to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move online was hardly a problem than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
After you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots come up, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there should be a catch? Yes. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the atrocious game you might possibly play. If you want a game of speculation gamble on slots.
