Think For a Long Time Before You Gamble on Keno
Tuesday, 10. August 2021
Keno is a game of pure chance and is very similar to Lotto games. The game was brought to the the states by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lotto games, it is a very simple to enjoy, and it is attractive as substantial jackpots are available for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weak point with lotto games – horrendous expectations.
Logically, Keno happen upon its way into online casinos as it was a simple game to establish, and internet casino software owners wanted to ensnare the giant land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move online was less of a encumbrance than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of eighty numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can purchase many cards for the same draw, and in quite a few games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.
After you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase tickets between five cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to 50 000 dollars are not uncommon.
Easy? Yes. So there should be a problem? Yes. The casino advantage with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide margin the worst game you can possibly gamble on. If you are wanting a game of speculation bet on slots.
