Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the US by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is a very simple to play, and it is enjoyable as big prizes are available for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrid expectations.
Logically, Keno happen upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to create, and online casino operators wanted to catch the big land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many people were used to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move online was less of a barrier than say with 21.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by appointing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy different tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for future games.
After you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers appear, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you can possibly play. If you want a game of luck play slot machines.
