Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as substantial fortunes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – terrible expectations.
Rationally, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to establish, and internet casino software operators wanted to catch 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 used to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by appointing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for future games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there has to be a problem? Absolutely. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you could possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of chance play slot machines.
