Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the the states by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a very easy to play, and it is enjoyable as substantial prizes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – terrible odds.
Sensibly, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and casino owners wanted to benefit from the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move online was hardly a problem than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by appointing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre purchase for future games.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase cards between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there must be a catch? Yes. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you could possibly gamble on. If you want a game of speculation bet on slots.
