Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is appealing as large jackpots are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrible expectations.
Sensibly, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to establish, and internet casino software operators wanted to entice the large land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move online was a insignificant barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy different cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots appear, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy tickets between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Absolutely. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the atrocious game you could possibly play. If you are seeking a game of speculation gamble on slot machines.
