Think Carefully Prior to Playing Keno

Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it’s a very easy to enjoy, and it is appealing as big jackpots are available for very small bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – horrendous odds.

By reason, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to create, and casino software operators wanted to capture the big brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were accustomed to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a hurdle than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for future games.

Once 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. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lotteries.

Most keno online games allow you to purchase cards between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.

Simple? Absolutely. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the atrocious game you can possibly play. If you are wanting a game of randomness gamble on slots.
