Keno in a progressive future

Slowly and steadily progressive Keno games are becoming popular at the online casinos. It is common to see progressive jackpot keno games in land casino Though Keno is a game of luck, the progressive keno games technically increase your odds of a win. As progressive jackpots grow in keno, it means the house edge is lowered, sometimes dramatically. So while  playing a progressive online keno game, check out the jackpot. Because as it grows the house edge diminishes, giving you a greater chance to be successful in keno. Here let us find what progressive is all about and how it works.

What does it mean by Progressive Jackpot?

It is better to understand first what really is progressive jackpot and how does it work before we play progressive Keno. A progressive jackpot is a jackpot for a gaming machine like a video poker machine where the value of the jackpot increases a small amount each Keno game  until the player wins the jackpot.

The amount of the jackpot is shown on a meter as a money value. Usually the jackpot can only be won by winning the combination with the highest payoff, e.g. a royal flush at a video poker game, or five of the most valuable symbols like lemons, cherries, alligators, etc.on a pokies machine or numbers Spots in Keno game. Once a player wins the jackpot, the jackpot resets to a preset minimum level.

The amount on the jackpot progresses a small amount for every play on a connected machine. The amount that the jackpot advances by is set by the casino or the house. For example, on a machine whose house edge is 5%, a generous jackpot contribution might be 1%-one fifth of the expected profit.

The house is prepared to contribute some of the profit of a jackpot linked machine because players are attracted by the:

• Relative novelty of progressive jackpots (generally, only a small fraction of the house’s gaming machines will be connected to a progressive jackpot)
• Constantly changing meter, often displayed on large LED or LCD displays or on laptop screens when you play online
• Large amount of the jackpot, which eventually motivates more players to play the game.

Usually only players who wager the maximum number of credits per play qualify to win the jackpot. All wagers, whether or not they are maximum credit bets, contribute to the jackpot though. As a result, a game which requires a 10 credit wager to qualify for the progressive jackpot will tend to have the progressive jackpot rise to higher levels (relative to its break-even level) than a game that requires only a 5 credit wager to qualify.
