Ponder Long And Hard Before You Try Keno

Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to play, and it is attractive as substantial fortunes are offered for very little bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrid expectations.

By reason, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and online casino software owners wanted to capture the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier than say with chemin de fer.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-buy for future games.

After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lotteries.

Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.

Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the atrocious game you might possibly wager on. If you want a game of chance play slots.
