Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the America by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a very easy to play, and it is enchanting as big fortunes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – terrible expectations.
Understandably, Keno happen upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to establish, and online casino operators wanted to ensnare the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were used to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for future games.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy cards between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the atrocious game you might possibly bet on. If you are seeking a game of chance wager on slots.
