Think Carefully Before You Gamble on Keno

Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US of A by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as big jackpots are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – terrible expectations.

By reason, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to establish, and online casino software owners wanted to entice the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many players were used to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move online was less of a barrier than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase countless tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre purchase for future games.

After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lotteries.

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

Simple? Absolutely. So there must be a problem? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you might possibly wager on. If you want a game of chance wager on slots.
