Ponder Long And Hard Before You Try Keno

Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese migrants in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it’s a very easy to play, and it is endearing as substantial prizes are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrid expectations.

Rationally, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to develop, and internet casino software operators wanted to catch the giant brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was hardly a problem than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lotteries.

Most internet keno games allow you to purchase cards between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.

Easy? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you could possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of speculation gamble on slot machines.
