Think For a Long Time Before You Bet on Keno

Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the America by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it is an absolutely easy to play, and it is appealing as large prizes are available for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrible expectations.

By reason, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to build, and casino software operators wanted to catch the giant land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were accustomed to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant encumbrance than say with 21.

So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy countless cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.

Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your spots surface, like with lotteries.

Most internet keno games allow you to buy cards between five cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to fifty thousand dollars are not uncommon.

Simple? Absolutely. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The gambling casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you can possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of randomness gamble on slot machines.
