Keno is a game of pure luck and is very similar to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S. by Chinese expatriates in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to enjoy, and it is enjoyable as large jackpots are available for very small bets. Keno is enjoyed at bars, clubs and community centers all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another similarity with lottery games – terrible expectations.
Rationally, Keno found its way into casinos on the internet as it was a simple game to develop, and internet casino software operators wanted to catch the huge land based Keno fan base on the internet. What was even more in the favour of internet casinos was that many players were used to playing Keno on electronic screens, so the move on to the internet was less of a hurdle than say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you play Keno. You start off by appointing between 4 and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many cards for the same draw, and in a few games you can even pre-buy for upcoming games.
Once you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously earn more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lottos.
Most keno internet games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
Simple? Yeah. So there must be a problem? Yes. The casino edge with Keno is 30 percent or more, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of hitting a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a wide shot the awful game you can possibly play. If you are wanting a game of luck gamble on slot machines.
