Think Long And Hard Prior to Playing Keno
Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as large prizes are offered for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrid expectations.
Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and online casino software owners wanted to benefit from the large land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a encumbrance 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 80 numbers. Each selection is describe as 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.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to buy cards between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yeah. So there must be a problem? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the atrocious game you can possibly bet on. If you are seeking a game of luck play slot machines.
