Think Long And Hard Before You Wager on Keno
Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the US by Chinese newcomers in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is appealing as big jackpots are offered for very small wagers. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and rec center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrible odds.
Rationally, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to create, and casino software operators wanted to catch the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were used to betting on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was less of a barrier than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots are landed on, like with lottos.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there should be a catch? Absolutely. The casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you might possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of randomness gamble on slot machines.
