Think Long And Hard Prior to Playing Keno
Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese newcomers in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is appealing as big fortunes are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – terrible odds.
By reason, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to create, and casino owners wanted to ensnare the large land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many players were accustomed to playing Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you might possibly play. If you are seeking a game of speculation bet on slot machines.
