Think Long And Hard Prior to Playing Keno
Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is appealing as substantial prizes are offered for very little bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrid expectations.
Sensibly, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and casino software operators wanted to ensnare the giant land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many players were used to wagering 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 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy different tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots come up, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yeah. So there should be a problem? Yes. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you might possibly wager on. If you want a game of speculation gamble on slot machines.
