Think For a Long Time Before You Wager on Keno

Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese migrants in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is appealing as substantial fortunes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at bars, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrible expectations.

Understandably, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino owners wanted to entice the large brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were used to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier than say with blackjack.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase countless tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for future games.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots appear, like with lottos.

Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.

Simple? Yeah. So there must be a problem? Absolutely. The casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you can possibly wager on. If you are looking for a game of chance gamble on slots.
