Ponder for a long time Before You Wager on Keno
by Abel on Wednesday, August 27th, 2008
Keno is a casino game of plain chance and is extremely similar to Lotto games. The game was imported to the USA by Chinese newcomers in the 1800’s. As with lottery games, it is a dead easy to play, and it is attractive as huge prizes are on offer for astonishingly small wagers. Keno is gambled on at bars, clubs and rec centers all over the globe today. Regrettably it has other similarities with lottery games – horrendous odds.
Logically, Keno worked its way into web betting houses as it was an easy game to create, and casino owners wanted to catch the big brick and mortar Keno fan base online. What helped even more for online casinos was that a lot of people were accustomed to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the shift online was less of a barrier that say with chemin de fer.
So here is how you bet on Keno. You start by selecting between 4 and ten numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each choice is called a "spot". In most net keno games, you can buy multiple tickets for the same game, and in some games you can even pre buy for up-coming games.
Once you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a tube from a barrel. If sufficient of your numbers are drawn, you win. That easy. You’ll certainly earn more if more of your selected numbers are drawn, like with lotteries. Most net keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. JackpotGrand prizes of up to fifty thousand dollars are not unusual.
A breeze? Yeah. So there must be a catch? Absolutely. The casino edge with Keno is 30% or more, the WORST of any internet casino game. The chances of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big margin the most dreadful game you could possibly play. If you are wanting a game of luck play video slots. If you wish to toss cash away, gamble on Keno. Very few people really make any real earnings.
