Think Long And Hard Before You Play Keno
Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the America by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is attractive as big prizes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – terrible expectations.
Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino operators wanted to capture the huge land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots hit, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Absolutely. So there has to be a catch? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the atrocious game you might possibly play. If you want a game of luck gamble on slot machines.
