» Smart Bets 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 keno runner collects the wagers and the "inside tickets" of the players. A keno wager form filled out by the customer is called the "inside ticket". After that he takes the wager and that ticket and carries them to the counter. What he takes back is an "outside ticket". That is an official wager receipt. It is obligatory for the player to check up his ticket before the beginning of the game. You won't have such an opportunity after the balldraw begins.
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. 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.
