Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a very simple to play, and it is attractive as substantial prizes are available for very small bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrible odds.
Understandably, Keno happen upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino software operators wanted to entice the big land based Keno fan base on the internet. 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 less of a problem than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy many cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase cards between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there must be a problem? Absolutely. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the atrocious game you could possibly play. If you are seeking a game of speculation bet on slots.
