A lottery-like or bingo-like gambling game played at modern casinos is called keno. A traditional live casino keno game uses a circular glass enclosure called a "bubble" containing 80 ping pong-like balls which determine the balldraw result. There are numbers from 1 to 80 on each keno ball. A blower pushes air into the bubble and mixes the balls during the balldraw. 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" record each of 20 balls drawn, and the computerized keno system calculates all wagers based on the numbers drawn.
Players mark an "X" over the "spot" choices on a blank keno ticket form containing numbers from 1 to 80. After all players successfully place their wagers, the casino draws 20 balls (numbers) at random.
"Paytables" are series of pay scale choices that are set by the 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. Keno paytables and the house edge set for each of those paytables vary greatly from casino to casino. One can hardly find two absolutely identical keno paytables.
The house edge ranges from less than 4% to 66%.
In modern casinos "Keno runners" walk around calling "keno!" and offer to carry players' wagers to the keno booth for processing. The players give the keno runner the "inside ticket" and the wager payment. The "inside ticket" is a keno wager form filled out by the customer. The "inside ticket" represents a wager form that is to be filled out by the player. After that he takes the wager and that ticket and carries them to the counter. The keno runner returns with an "outside" ticket, which is the official wager receipt. Before the game begins each player should ckeck up his ticket. No corrections are accepted after the first ball is drawn.
After all the balls are drawn, the winners get their payouts, which are often quite different in different gambling houses. If you have, for example, a four-spot ticket, you are paid 1:1 if 2 numbers hit, 1:5 if 3 numbers hit and 1:120! if all the 4 numbers hit. Though in another casino the corresponding payouts will be different. That makes it impossible to define the average payback ratio. Paybacks range from below 70 percent to more than 80 percent.
