Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought to the US of A by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a very easy to play, and it is enchanting as big jackpots are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrendous expectations.
Rationally, Keno found its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino owners wanted to entice the big land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were used to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was a insignificant encumbrance than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy multiple tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-buy for future games.
Once you have submitted your selection, 20 balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Absolutely. So there should be a catch? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you can possibly play. If you are looking for a game of speculation wager on slot machines.
