Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s a very easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as big jackpots are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrendous odds.
Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to develop, and internet casino software owners wanted to ensnare the huge land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were accustomed to gambling on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was a insignificant encumbrance than say with blackjack.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You begin by appointing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for future games.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lottos.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Absolutely. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the awful game you can possibly bet on. If you are looking for a game of randomness play slot machines.
