Ponder Carefully Prior to Playing Keno

Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese migrants in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to play, and it is attractive as big prizes are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – terrible expectations.

Logically, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and casino owners wanted to catch the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by appointing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you could possibly gamble on. If you are looking for a game of luck gamble on slots.
