Online casinos offer several numbers games including Keno

Any historian looking into the history of gambling among the general public in Ireland will nearly always quote bingo as the most popular. Prior to the introduction of national lotteries the most likely outlet for our gambling instincts would have been the local bingo club. Nowadays of course for a variety of reasons many of the bingo clubs in our towns and cities have closed, but the online casinos have since proved that our love of numbers games has not diminished at all. All the major online casinos offer various forms of bingo within their range of casino games, and many have gone one step further by providing some new numbers games for us to enjoy. One of these new online casino games is Keno, a numbers game featured on several online casinos and proving very popular. You will find the full description of the rules of Keno on our casino games pages, but here is a brief summary of how Keno is played. The player first selects up to twenty numbers from 1 to 80, hoping to match as many of those numbers as possible with twenty numbers then produced randomly by the RNG on the site. The more numbers matched the more you win, but the game of Keno also allows the players to increase their potential winnings by selecting less than twenty numbers at the start of the game. Let us assume that a player decides to choose only ten numbers at the start of the game. Clearly the chances of matching say five of those are less than matching five from twenty, so the pay-out for five from ten is greater than for five from twenty. It is this ability to choose the degree of risk and the subsequent winning odds that makes Keno such a popular casino game. Although it may sound complicated, actually playing Keno online is very easy because the online casino graphics clearly show how the winning odds are changing as the players increase their initial selections. Why not take a look its great fun.
