Ponder Carefully Prior to Playing Keno

Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is appealing as big fortunes are available for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – terrible odds.

Logically, Keno happen upon its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to build, and online casino operators wanted to benefit from the large land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many players were used to betting on Keno on video terminals, so the move online was hardly a hurdle than say with blackjack.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots surface, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long margin the worst game you can possibly bet on. If you want a game of randomness play slots.
