» Keno Game

The game begins with the following: a "keno runner" calls "keno" and offers to carry the wagers to the 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. You won't have such an opportunity after the balldraw begins.
When all the 20 numbers are known, the winning tickets are paid. The payouts differ in defferent casinos. 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. But in another casino, the three-number hit might pay and all four 5, and in another the payoffs might be and 0. 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.
