Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a very simple to play, and it is attractive as substantial jackpots are offered for very little wagers. Keno is played at bars, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrid odds.
By reason, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to establish, and casino software owners wanted to capture the giant land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were used to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots hit, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there should be a catch? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the atrocious game you can possibly play. If you are wanting a game of speculation play slots.
