Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a very simple to play, and it is enjoyable as big prizes are available for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrid odds.
Sensibly, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and internet casino operators wanted to catch the giant land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were used to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a hurdle than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by appointing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yeah. So there should be a catch? Yeah. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you can possibly bet on. If you are seeking a game of speculation bet on slots.
