Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the the states by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely simple to play, and it is appealing as substantial prizes are available for very little wagers. Keno is played at bars, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrendous odds.
Rationally, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and internet casino operators wanted to catch the huge land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many people were used to gambling on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a problem than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most keno online games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Absolutely. So there must be a catch? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you might possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of randomness play slot machines.
