Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a very easy to play, and it is enjoyable as large prizes are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrid odds.
Understandably, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to build, and casino software operators wanted to ensnare the huge land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many players were used to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a hurdle than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between four 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 countless tickets for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots hit, like with lotteries.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase cards between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Absolutely. So there should be a problem? Yeah. The casino advantage with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the worst game you could possibly play. If you are wanting a game of speculation play slot machines.
