Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese migrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is attractive as big fortunes are available for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrible odds.
Rationally, Keno ensconced its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to build, and casino software operators wanted to entice the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many gamblers were used to betting on Keno on electronic terminals, so the move online was less of a problem than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there has to be a problem? Absolutely. The gambling casino edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big shot the awful game you might possibly play. If you are wanting a game of randomness wager on slot machines.
