Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the the states by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is appealing as big jackpots are offered for very little bets. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrid odds.
Sensibly, Keno ensconced its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino operators wanted to catch the giant land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were used to wagering on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy different tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to purchase cards between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Yes. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you can possibly bet on. If you are seeking a game of speculation gamble on slots.
