Think Carefully Before You Play Keno

[ English ]

Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the America by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is enchanting as substantial fortunes are available for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrendous expectations.

Rationally, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to build, and casino software operators wanted to entice the big land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was a insignificant encumbrance than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy countless cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for future games.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The gambling casino advantage 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 wide margin the awful game you can possibly wager on. If you are seeking a game of chance play slots.
