Ponder For a Long Time Before You Try Keno

Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is attractive as substantial prizes are available for very little wagers. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lotto games – terrible expectations.

Rationally, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino owners wanted to benefit from the big brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were used to gambling on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a problem than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you play Keno. You begin by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase countless cards 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 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots hit, like with lotteries.

Most keno online games allow you to buy tickets between five cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.

Easy? Yes. So there should be a problem? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you might possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of chance gamble on slots.
