When a player bets on the numbers marked as a single wager it is a straight ticket betting. 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.
A combination ticket bet is made when a player marks several number groupings and plays combinations of them.
Keno payouts are 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. Your payout will be greater if most of your chosen numbers hit.
Your chances to choose all 20 numbers correctly are 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. 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.
