Ponder Carefully Before You Wager on Keno
by Eden on Friday, August 4th, 2017
Keno is a game of pure speculation and is very close to Lotto games. The game was brought over to the US of A by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is attractive as substantial jackpots are offered for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at saloons, clubs and recreation center all over the world today. Unfortunately it shares another characteristic with lotto games – terrible expectations.
By reason, Keno found its way into internet casinos as it was an easy game to create, and casino operators wanted to ensnare the big land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were used to betting on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a encumbrance than say with twenty-one.
So here is how you play Keno. You begin by choosing between four and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is referred to as a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many tickets for the same draw, and in some games you can even pre purchase for games in the future.
Once you have submitted your choices, 20 balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your spots are drawn, you win. That simple. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers are landed on, like with lotteries.
Most internet keno games allow you to purchase cards between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
Easy? Yeah. So there has to be a catch? Absolutely. The gambling casino advantage 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 long margin the awful game you can possibly play. If you are looking for a game of luck bet on slots.
