Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth aeon. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is attractive as big jackpots are offered for very little wagers. Keno is played at bars, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrible expectations.
By reason, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to create, and online casino operators wanted to capture the huge brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were used to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots hit, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Yes. The gambling casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you can possibly gamble on. If you are looking for a game of chance play slot machines.
