Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead easy to enjoy, and it is attractive as large fortunes are offered for very little wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrible odds.
Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to build, and online casino operators wanted to entice the giant brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were used to gambling on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was hardly a hurdle than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by appointing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.
Most keno online 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 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long margin the worst game you might possibly gamble on. If you are looking for a game of luck wager on slots.
