Ponder Long And Hard Before You Bet on Keno

Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the US of A by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is appealing as substantial jackpots are offered for very small bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrendous expectations.

Sensibly, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and internet casino owners wanted to entice the big brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for future games.

After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.

Most keno online games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.

Simple? Yes. So there should be a problem? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you could possibly gamble on. If you are seeking a game of chance play slots.
