Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the the states by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is an absolutely simple to play, and it is appealing as substantial fortunes are available for very small bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrible expectations.
By reason, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to create, and casino software owners wanted to benefit from the large brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a hurdle than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy countless tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers appear, 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 card value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the worst game you can possibly wager on. If you want a game of speculation bet on slots.
