Ponder Long And Hard Before You Play Keno
Thursday, 5. November 2009
Keno is a game of pure chance and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the USA by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a very easy to play, and it is appealing as big prizes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – horrendous odds.
By reason, Keno happen upon its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino software owners wanted to catch the huge land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favor of online casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by appointing between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase multiple cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots come up, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between 5c and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there has to be a problem? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any internet casino game. The odds of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long margin the atrocious game you can possibly gamble on. If you want a game of speculation wager on slot machines.
