Keno Secrets

Ponder Carefully Before You Wager on Keno

Keno is a game of pure luck and is very close to lottery games. The game was brought to the U.S.A by Chinese migrants in the 19th century. As with lottery games, it is a very easy to play, and it is appealing as large prizes are available for very tiny wagers. Keno is played at taverns, clubs and recreation center all over the planet today. Unfortunately it shares another weakness with lotto games – terrible expectations.

Rationally, Keno hit upon its way into online casinos as it was an easy game to develop, and online casino software owners wanted to entice the huge brick and mortar Keno players on the internet. What was even more in the favour of online casinos was that many people were used to wagering on Keno on video screens, so the move on to the internet was hardly a barrier than say with vingt-et-un.

So here is how you enjoy Keno. You start off by selecting between four and 10 numbers from a total of 80 numbers. Each selection is called a "spot". In many online keno games, you can buy many cards for the same draw, and in a handful games you can even pre-order for games in the future.

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. It is that easy. You will obviously come away with more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lotteries.

Most online keno games allow you to purchase tickets between 5 cents and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.

Easy? Yes. So there must be a problem? Yeah. The house advantage with Keno is 30% or greater, the WORST of any online casino game. The expectation of landing on a number is 0.25%. Keno is by a big shot the awful game you might possibly play. If you are seeking a game of speculation play slot machines.
