Think Long And Hard Prior to Playing Keno
Wednesday, 13. November 2019
Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought over to the USA by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it’s a dead easy to play, and it is endearing as big jackpots are offered for very small bets. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and civic center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – terrible odds.
Logically, Keno ensconced its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to create, and online casino operators wanted to catch the big land based Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with blackjack.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase many tickets for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty balls with numbers will "enter" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lotteries.
Most keno online games allow you to buy tickets between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yeah. So there should be a problem? Yes. The house edge with Keno is 30% or higher, the WORST of any internet casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a big margin the worst game you might possibly wager on. If you are wanting a game of luck gamble on slot machines.
