Think Long And Hard Before You Bet on Keno
Sunday, 2. January 2022
Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought over to the U.S.A by Chinese migrants in the 19th aeon. As with lottery games, it’s a dead simple to play, and it is enjoyable as substantial prizes are offered for very tiny bets. Keno is enjoyed at lounges, clubs and rec center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – horrid odds.
Rationally, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was an easy game to create, and casino owners wanted to catch the huge land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favor of internet casinos was that many people were accustomed to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a hurdle than say with blackjack.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by choosing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is describe as a "spot". In many internet keno games, you can buy countless cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your spots are picked, you win. It’s that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5 cents and five dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The house edge with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the atrocious game you can possibly bet on. If you are wanting a game of luck play slot machines.
