Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese immigrants in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to play, and it is endearing as large jackpots are offered for very small wagers. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrible odds.
Sensibly, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and casino operators wanted to capture the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was hardly a barrier than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase cards between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big shot the worst game you could possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of chance bet on slots.
