Think Long And Hard Before You Bet on Keno

[ English ]

Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth aeon. As with lotto games, it is a very simple to play, and it is attractive as substantial jackpots are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – terrible expectations.

Understandably, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to establish, and casino software operators wanted to capture the large brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were accustomed to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a hurdle than say with twenty-one.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by appointing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.

Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots appear, like with lottos.

Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between 5 cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.

Easy? Absolutely. So there has to be a problem? Yes. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you could possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of randomness gamble on slot machines.
