Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese newcomers in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to play, and it is enjoyable as substantial fortunes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – horrid odds.
Understandably, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to establish, and online casino software owners wanted to catch the huge land based Keno fan base 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 electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with 21.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy countless cards for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you could possibly bet on. If you want a game of speculation gamble on slot machines.
