A lottery-like or bingo-like gambling game played at modern casinos is called keno. A circular glass enclosure called a "bubble" containing 80 ping pong-like balls which determine the balldraw result is used in the game of keno. Each ball has a number (from 1 to 80) imprinted on it. During the balldraw, a blower pushes air into the bubble and mixes the balls. A "caller" presses a lever opening a tube, where the balls lift one at a time into a "V" shaped tube called the "rabbit ears". The caller and a "verifier" are used to record each of 20 balls drawn, and the computerized keno system is used to calculate all wagers based on the numbers drawn.
Players wager by marking an "X" over the "spot" choices on a blank keno ticket form with 80 numbered selection boxes (1 to 80). 20 balls at random are drawn only after the players wagers are placed.
The series of pay scale choices called "paytables" are set by each casino. The player is paid based on how many numbers drawn match the numbers selected on the ticket and according to the paytable selected with regard to the wager amount. Players will find a wide variation of keno paytables from casino to casino and a large deviation in the house edge set for each of those paytables. There are no identical two casinos' keno paytables.
The house edge can vary from less than 4% to 66%.
Betting the numbers marked as a single wager is called betting a straight ticket. Despite this way of playing is very simple many players prefer to bet more combinations.
King ticket: A number circled by itself is the king, which is used in all combinations marked.
A combination ticket bet is made when a player marks several number groupings and plays combinations of them.
The player payout depends on how many numbers the player choses and how many numbers are "hit", multiplied by the proportion of the player's original wager to the “base rate” of the paytable. Your payout will be greater if most of your chosen numbers hit.
The probability of a player hitting all 20 numbers on a 20 spot ticket is approximately 1 in 3.5 quintillion.
After the 20 numbers are drawn, winning tickets are paid according to a table that varies from house to house. For example, a four-spot ticket with wagered might return the if two numbers hit, bring if three numbers hit, and pay 0 if all four come in. The payouts at other casinos will more often than not differ. Because of the variation, no payback percentage is common enough to be called average.
