Ponder For a Long Time Prior to Playing Keno
Sunday, 8. November 2015
Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese newcomers in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it’s an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as substantial prizes are offered for very small wagers. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lottery games – terrible expectations.
Logically, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to develop, and online casino operators wanted to ensnare the huge brick and mortar Keno players online. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video terminals, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between four and ten 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 a few games you can even pre-buy for future games.
After you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are drawn, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your spots surface, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to buy cards between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there has to be a problem? Yeah. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you might possibly play. If you want a game of speculation play slots.
