Ponder Long And Hard Before You Try Keno
Friday, 6. November 2009
Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US of A by Chinese expatriates in the nineteenth century. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is endearing as large prizes are available for very tiny wagers. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lottery games – horrendous odds.
By reason, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and internet casino owners wanted to entice the huge land based Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many people were accustomed to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move online was less of a barrier than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by appointing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots hit, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to buy tickets between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The odds of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big shot the awful game you could possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of randomness play slots.
