Keno game basics
Out of the many popular casino games that you can lay your hand
on and pray, pray hard that the luck be on your side (like horse
race, poker for instance), keno is one such game that will
intrigue you into its trouble-free approach. Keno is basically
the game from which another widely popular game lottery has
evolved. The number of casino games might be many and though
poker has the most important spot in all of them, still keno has
enough following to intrigue the players. The Great Wall of
China might have given birth to the game, but the game has been
around for almost three thousand years and that is one
remarkable achievement for it.
Keno is the simplest game around to play. You have to remember
the basic of the game that is to pick out four to ten numbers
out of the given ninety. The numbers used to be one hundred and
twenty when keno was played in china. But as the game moved from
China to the United States of America it was made simpler by
reducing the numbers from one twenty to ninety. It is a highly
profitable game too. A dollar can win the player a prize up to
$50,000. Quite a gamble...eh? Thus keno has gained immense
popularity due its simplicity and the prize attached.
There are different variations of kenos developed in different
parts of the world. Keno has also made it to the Internet and
'internet keno' has become a choicest game of the net and gamble
freaks. Video keno is also very popular among the masses as it
involves live and direct results. Keno is played in most of the
casinos in United States, but as a gamble game it is not yet
played in China due to the fact that in China all kinds of
gambling are illegal.
The odds attached to winning keno are very low and therefore
numerous techniques such as combination betting etc. have to be
formulated to maximise the chance of winning. A dichotomy exists
between the believers and non-believers of keno strategy. Some
firmly believe that keno is played using different strategies
while the other group are of an un faltering belief that keno is
a game of pure chance and no technique. But the same was
believed for poker too. Such thinking was proved wrong by
express usage of card counting by the master players.
Keno and lotto are somewhat similar games but there are some
differences that make them distinct. However, both the games are
played many times at the same venues and the winning strategies
are almost the same i.e. no strategies. It is a very common
belief that numbers similar to those of birthday's anniversaries
etc. are used. This goes on to show that the game is played on
chance and thus the element of gamble remains as it is in the
game.
The game is good and simple enough to be played with family thus
keno has stood the test of time and competition and it is going
to do so in the years to come. So say yes to KE-NO.
