Ponder Carefully Prior to Playing Keno
Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a very easy to enjoy, and it is attractive as big prizes are available for very little wagers. Keno is played at bars, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrible odds.
By reason, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and online casino owners wanted to catch the large brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many players were used to wagering on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a problem than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase different tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.
Most keno online games allow you to purchase cards between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the awful game you can possibly play. If you want a game of chance play slot machines.
