Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a very easy to enjoy, and it is enchanting as substantial fortunes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrendous odds.
By reason, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and online casino operators wanted to capture the huge land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many gamblers were used to betting on Keno on video terminals, so the move online was a insignificant hurdle than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for future games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lotteries.
Most keno online games allow you to purchase tickets 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.
Easy? Yeah. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the atrocious game you could possibly gamble on. If you want a game of chance wager on slot machines.
