Ponder Long And Hard Before You Wager on Keno
Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it’s an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is enchanting as big prizes are available for very little bets. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – terrible odds.
Logically, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and internet casino operators wanted to benefit from the large brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots appear, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase cards between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you can possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of speculation wager on slot machines.
