Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it’s a very simple to play, and it is enjoyable as substantial prizes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – terrible odds.
By reason, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and casino software operators wanted to benefit from the big brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were accustomed to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant barrier than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase cards between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you can possibly bet on. If you are seeking a game of chance bet on slots.
