» What Is Keno Lottery
|
|
A lot of modern casinos offer an opportunity to play keno - a lottery-like or bingo-like gambling game. The parts of a keno game are a circular glass enclosure called a "bubble" and 80 ping pong-like balls which determine the balldraw result. Each ball has a number (from 1 to 80) imprinted on it. A blower is used to push air into the bubble and mix the balls during the balldraw. A lever opening a tube is pressed by a "caller" and then the balls lift one at a time into a "V" shaped tube called the "rabbit ears". Each of 20 balls drawn are recorded by the caller and a "verifier" and all wagers based on the numbers drawn are calculated by the computerized keno system.
An "X" is put over the "spot" choices on a blank keno ticket form with 80 numbered selection boxes (1 to 80). After that you can place your wagers and then the casino draws 20 balls (numbers) at random.
Every casino has its "paytables" - series of pay scale choices. 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. Two identical keno paytables can hardly be found.
The house edge can vary from less than 4% to 66%.
"Keno runners" begin the game. They walk around, call "keno" and carry the wagers of the players to the keno booth. The players give the keno runner the "inside ticket" and the wager payment. A keno wager form filled out by the customer is called the "inside ticket". After that he takes the wager and that ticket and carries them to the counter. In return the player receives an "outside ticket" - an official wager receipt. It is obligatory for the player to check up his ticket before the beginning of the game. Any errors not corrected before the balldraw begins are not normally rectified.
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. Some other casinos will offer partly or totally different payouts. Because of the variation, no payback percentage is common enough to be called average. Paybacks range from below 70 percent to more than 80 percent.
