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 expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it’s a very easy to enjoy, and it is appealing as big prizes are offered for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – terrible odds.
Sensibly, Keno happen upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino software owners wanted to capture the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move online was less of a hurdle than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy many cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to purchase cards between five cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you could possibly bet on. If you are seeking a game of luck play slot machines.
