Think Carefully Prior to Playing Keno

Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the America by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as large prizes are available for very small bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrendous odds.

Sensibly, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to establish, and casino software operators wanted to ensnare the huge brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were used to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy multiple tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy for games in the future.

After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers 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 tickets between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.

Easy? Yes. So there should be a catch? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you could possibly play. If you are wanting a game of luck bet on slot machines.
