» Keno Payback Percentage

"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. The keno runner returns with an "outside" ticket, which is the official wager receipt. It is obligatory for the player to check up his ticket before the beginning of the game. No corrections are accepted after the first ball is drawn.
When all the 20 numbers are known, the winning tickets are paid. The payouts differ in defferent casinos. 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. 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.
