When a player bets on the numbers marked as a single wager it is a straight ticket betting. Despite this way of playing is very simple many players prefer to bet more combinations.
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 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. 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.
The probability of a player hitting all 20 numbers on a 20 spot ticket is approximately 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. 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.
In modern casinos "Keno runners" walk around calling "keno!" and offer to carry players' wagers to the keno booth for processing. 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". Then the wager and the ticket are taken to the keno counter. In return the player receives an "outside ticket" - an official wager receipt. Before the game begins each player should ckeck up his ticket. You won't have such an opportunity after the balldraw begins.

The payouts at other casinos will more often than not differ. 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.
