Ponder Long And Hard Prior to Playing Keno

Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely simple to enjoy, and it is enchanting as substantial prizes are available for very small wagers. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrendous odds.

By reason, Keno happen upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and casino software operators wanted to ensnare the large land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were used to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a problem than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by appointing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called 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 purchase for upcoming games.

Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Absolutely. So there has to be a problem? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you could possibly gamble on. If you want a game of luck gamble on slots.
