Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a dead simple to enjoy, and it is endearing as large jackpots are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – terrible odds.
Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to develop, and internet casino owners wanted to capture the large brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were used to playing Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase countless tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls 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 are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you can possibly bet on. If you want a game of luck bet on slot machines.
