Think Long And Hard Prior to Playing Keno
Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as big fortunes are available for very small wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrible expectations.
Logically, Keno happen upon its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and casino owners wanted to entice the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant encumbrance than say with blackjack.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to buy cards between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Absolutely. The casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long margin the awful game you could possibly play. If you are wanting a game of chance play slots.
