Think For a Long Time Before You Play Keno

[ English ]

Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the America by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a very easy to enjoy, and it is attractive as big jackpots are offered for very little wagers. Keno is played at bars, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrid expectations.

By reason, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to create, and casino software operators wanted to capture the large land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was hardly a hurdle than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for future games.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.

Most online keno games allow you to purchase cards between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.

Simple? Absolutely. So there has to be a problem? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you can possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of speculation bet on slot machines.
