Think Long And Hard Before You Try Keno

Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese expatriates in the 19th aeon. As with lotto games, it is a dead easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as substantial prizes are offered for very little wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lottery games – horrible odds.

Sensibly, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino operators wanted to capture the large land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was less of a barrier than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for future games.

After you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers 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 win more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.

Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.

Simple? Yeah. So there should be a problem? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long margin the awful game you might possibly gamble on. If you want a game of speculation gamble on slots.
