Think Long And Hard Prior to Playing Keno

Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese migrants in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is a dead simple to play, and it is attractive as substantial jackpots are offered for very little bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrible expectations.

Logically, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to establish, and casino operators wanted to catch the large brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were used to gambling on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was hardly a problem than say with 21.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase countless tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.

Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots hit, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Yeah. So there should be a catch? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you can possibly wager on. If you are seeking a game of randomness play slots.
