Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead simple to enjoy, and it is appealing as substantial prizes are offered for very small wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrendous expectations.
Rationally, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to build, and online casino software operators wanted to capture the big brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a hurdle than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy countless tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots surface, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to buy tickets between five cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there must be a catch? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you could possibly wager on. If you are seeking a game of luck gamble on slots.
