Straight ticket betting is betting the numbers marked as a single wager. Despite this way of playing is very simple many players prefer to bet more combinations.
If a chosen number is used in all combinations marked it is called the king and a king ticket bet is made this way.
Combination ticket: The player marks several number groupings and plays combinations of them.
The player payout depends 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. Usually the more numbers a player chooses and the more numbers hit, the greater the payout is.
The probability of a player hitting all 20 numbers on a 20 spot ticket is approximately 1 in 3.5 quintillion.
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.
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. 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.
