Think Long And Hard Prior to Playing Keno

Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese newcomers in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is attractive as big prizes are available for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrendous expectations.

Logically, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and casino software owners wanted to capture the big brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many players were used to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a problem than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy multiple cards for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-order for future games.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots appear, like with lottos.

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

Easy? Absolutely. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide shot the atrocious game you can possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of chance gamble on slot machines.
