Ponder Long And Hard Before You Gamble on Keno

[ English ]

Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is an absolutely simple to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as big jackpots are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrendous odds.

Logically, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to develop, and casino software operators wanted to catch the big land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many players were used to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for future games.

After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lotteries.

Most keno online games allow you to purchase cards between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.

Easy? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Yes. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide margin the awful game you might possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of luck play slot machines.
