Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is enjoyable as big fortunes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrible odds.
Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and casino operators wanted to benefit from the giant land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there has to be a catch? Yes. The house advantage with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you could possibly wager on. If you want a game of luck wager on slots.
