Ponder Long And Hard Prior to Playing Keno
Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a very simple to play, and it is attractive as substantial prizes are available for very little wagers. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – terrible expectations.
Logically, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to develop, and online casino owners wanted to ensnare the big land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lottos.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you might possibly play. If you are wanting a game of luck play slot machines.
