Think Long And Hard Before You Gamble on Keno
Monday, 31. October 2016
Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the U.S. by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to play, and it is attractive as large prizes are offered for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at saloons, clubs and civic center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrid odds.
Rationally, Keno hit upon its way into internet casinos as it was a simple game to build, and internet casino owners wanted to catch the giant land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of casinos on the internet was that many players were used to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move online was a insignificant barrier than say with 21.
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 internet keno games, you can buy different cards for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre purchase for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots hit, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase cards between five cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Yeah. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the awful game you could possibly wager on. If you are looking for a game of luck play slot machines.
