» How To Win In The Game Of Keno

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". Then the wager and the ticket are taken to the keno counter. What he takes back is an "outside ticket". That is an official wager receipt. Before the game begins each player should ckeck up his ticket. 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.
