Ponder For a Long Time Before You Play Keno
Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the the states by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is a dead simple to play, and it is enjoyable as large fortunes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – terrible odds.
Sensibly, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to create, and online casino operators wanted to benefit from the giant land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were used to wagering on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there must be a catch? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long margin the awful game you might possibly gamble on. If you are seeking a game of randomness wager on slots.
