Think Carefully Before You Wager on Keno

Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead simple to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as large prizes are available for very small wagers. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrid expectations.

Rationally, Keno happen upon its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to create, and internet casino owners wanted to capture the big brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant problem than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing 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 tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lottos.

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

Simple? Yeah. So there should be a problem? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you could possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of speculation gamble on slots.
