Think Carefully Before You Wager on Keno
Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is enchanting as large fortunes are offered for very small wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrid expectations.
Rationally, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and casino operators wanted to catch the big land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move online was a insignificant problem than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy different cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots surface, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the atrocious game you could possibly gamble on. If you are seeking a game of chance bet on slot machines.
