Ticket Costs and Payoffs
With this rate ticket, called the Twenty-Number Special, you can mark up to 20 numbers. You have to bet $5 to be eligible for the progressive payoff, which comes only with 16 catches, but there are all kinds of payoffs that sound intriguing. Are they? Let's see.
If you don't catch any numbers, you win $500. But the odds of not catching one number out of 20 doesn't make this payoff worthwhile. More likely, you might only catch 2 or 3, but then you only get your money back. Catching 4-b numbers nets you nothing, and is a complete loser.
What you're hoping for is at least 12 numbers to catch, so you get $1,000 or more back. Although there are so-called 18 out of 21 ways to win, with only 4-6 catches not paying anything, getting from 2-7 catches, your most likely possibilities, will either lose for you or get you back your original bet of $5.
However, for you players who constantly complain that you can't catch even a single number, this card might be worth a couple of shots. And as remote as it seems, there's still the very slim chance of catching the progressive payout. I came across this "Sweet Sixteen" card at the Palacestation casino, which is located on the western side of I-15 on Sahara They have some interesting keno games going, one with a metered progressive payout that goes up to $250,000 for $3 ticket with a minimum of 9 numbers.
On the Sweet Sixteen, there's money back all up and down the card, although you're either going to get $5 or less if you catch 1-7 numbers out of a possible 16, your most likely catch There are two payouts of $50,000 for catching 14 or 15 number and you get the progressive payout for 16 out of 16.
The ticket costs $5, and I would only play it when the progressive payout is close to $250,000. It might be worth a play or two to see if your bad luck will win you money, although, as can be seen by the payoffs, you start to get a serious payback only if you hit 11 or more numbers. the potential payouts
