Think Carefully Prior to Playing Keno
Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to play, and it is attractive as large jackpots are offered for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrible odds.
Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and casino operators wanted to benefit from the large land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many people were used to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move online was hardly a encumbrance than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 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 a few games you can even pre purchase for future games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there should be a problem? Yeah. The gambling casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the awful game you can possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of chance bet on slot machines.
