Think Long And Hard Prior to Playing Keno
Monday, 5. August 2024
Keno is a game of pure randomness and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the America by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth aeon. As with lotto games, it is an absolutely easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as large prizes are offered for very small wagers. Keno is played at lounges, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – horrid expectations.
Rationally, Keno hit upon its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to build, and online casino operators wanted to capture the giant brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What was even more in the favour of casinos on the internet was that many gamblers were used to betting on Keno on electronic screens, so the move online was hardly a problem than say with vingt-et-un.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can purchase different tickets for the same draw, and in many games you can even pre-order for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That is all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers come up, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to buy tickets between 5 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? Yes. The house edge with Keno is thirty percent or higher, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25percent. Keno is by a long margin the worst game you might possibly wager on. If you want a game of luck play slot machines.
