If you bet on the numbers marked as a single wager you make a a straight ticket bet. The simplest way to play is to make a straight ticket bet, but a lot of players don't like it. King ticket: A number circled by itself is the king, which is used in all combinations marked. If you want to make a combination ticket bet you should mark several number groupings and plays combinations of them. The player is paid based 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. Typically, the more numbers a player chooses and the more numbers hit, the greater the payout, although some paytables pay for hitting a lesser number of spots. Your chances to choose all 20 numbers correctly are 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. Some other casinos will offer partly or totally different payouts. Because of the variation, no payback percentage is common enough to be called average.

The game begins with the following: a "keno runner" calls "keno" and offers to carry the wagers to the booth. The keno runner is handed the wager payment and the “inside ticket”. 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. In return the player receives an "outside ticket" - an official wager receipt. It is incumbent on the player to check the ticket for errors before the game balldraw is drawn. Any errors not corrected before the balldraw begins are not normally rectified. After the 20 numbers are drawn, winning tickets are paid according to a table that varies from house to house. 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.
