Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lotto games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is enjoyable as large fortunes are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrendous odds.
Understandably, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to create, and casino operators wanted to capture the huge brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were used to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move online was hardly a problem than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by appointing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty 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 numbers come up, like with lottos.
Most internet keno 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.
Simple? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Yes. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you can possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of chance gamble on slot machines.
