Ponder Long And Hard Prior to Playing Keno
Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to play, and it is appealing as large fortunes are available for very small bets. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrible expectations.
Rationally, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to establish, and online casino owners wanted to capture the huge brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many gamblers were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a hurdle than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for future games.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy tickets between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Absolutely. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you could possibly play. If you want a game of chance play slot machines.
