Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the America by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is attractive as substantial prizes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrid odds.
Logically, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino operators wanted to capture the huge land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many players were used to gambling on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy many cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for future games.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots surface, like with lottos.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy cards between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the atrocious game you might possibly play. If you are looking for a game of chance play slots.
