Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely simple to play, and it is appealing as big prizes are available for very small wagers. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – terrible expectations.
By reason, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino operators wanted to catch the large brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were used to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move online was less of a hurdle than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase countless cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the atrocious game you could possibly wager on. If you are seeking a game of randomness play slot machines.
