Think Carefully Before You Wager on Keno
Saturday, 27. February 2021
Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a dead easy to play, and it is enjoyable as large fortunes are offered for very small bets. Keno is played at bars, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – horrendous expectations.
Rationally, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to create, and casino operators wanted to entice the large land based Keno players online. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to playing Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a problem than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy multiple cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
After you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The chances of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a long shot the worst game you can possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of luck bet on slots.
