Online Keno, a modern option
Some history
Keno originates from China. They say that the game was brought to the US by Chinese miners and railroad workers. Little did the 19th century people know about the fact that online Keno will ever exists! Keno has grown to be an amazing pastime, but what is more important is the fact that it triggers relatively great payouts as compared to the deposits.
Where and how
For those of you, who still lack the minimum knowledge about this game, Keno is played both inside and outside casino lounges. The few, who wish to play outside the lounge area, will need Keno runners. Monitors will inform players about the winning numbers.
Besides online Keno and land based casino Keno, there is of course a video version of Keno. The latter ones are operated with coins and resemble slot machines, the benefits are obvious: much faster results.
How to play Keno
No matter if it is online Keno or a normal Casino game; you should know that players must choose 4 to 10 numbers, ranging from 1 to 80. Selected numbers are called spots. It shouldn't be hard to find Keno tickets, especially that these are available throughout the Casino. Once you've found one, jot down your favorite numbers and give the ticket to the clerk.
When everybody handed in the tickets, 20 Keno balls will be extracted from the Keno barrel. The essence of this game is to predict as many numbers as possible. You will know the results soon after the balls are drawn.
Bets can range from 5 cents to $1, but you will have the chance to know exactly once you've read the house's Keno brochures.
During a Keno race, players can win up to $50,000 on a $1 deposit. It is all up to the type of the ticket and the number of the matched spots. Feel free to play as many tickets as you wish. More than this, you are allowed to play a certain number of uninterrupted Keno rounds at one time.
What about the house?
Enough of the player! Let's have some words about the house. House advantage is different from one game to the other; fact is that it never comes below 30%. If you were curious about your chances, you should know by now that the odd of hitting any of the 80 numbers is 0.25%, which in turn transforms Keno into one of the worst bets one can make.
