Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to play, and it is attractive as large fortunes are offered for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – terrible expectations.
Sensibly, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino software operators wanted to benefit from the huge land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were used to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with blackjack.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for future games.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there has to be a catch? Absolutely. The gambling casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you can possibly wager on. If you are looking for a game of speculation gamble on slots.
