Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is enjoyable as large prizes are available for very little wagers. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrendous odds.
Sensibly, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to establish, and online casino owners wanted to capture the giant land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre purchase for future games.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots hit, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the atrocious game you can possibly gamble on. If you want a game of chance gamble on slots.
