Types of Keno Tickets
The following is a usual way of writing a split ticket. Note that the fraction 2 /5 means that the ticket contains two five spots. The circled 70 means that each five-spot, or way, is being played for 70¢. This ticket would be called a two-way five-spot.
The above example shows two groups of numbers, each bet and played separately on the one split ticket. But you are not limited to two groups of numbers. If you are willing to play smaller spots, such as two-spots and three-spots, you may play as many as forty individual two-spots on one ticket.
This is not recommended, but you should be aware that you can play more than one group, or way, on one ticket in this simple manner. When playing more than one way, many casinos will accommodate players by reducing the 70¢ house minimum to 35¢ per way.
"Way" here is defined simply as a possible payoff. For example, if a split ticket has two circled groups, there are two potential payoffs, and thus, two ways. When the minimum is reduced by half by the casino, you should be aware that the potential payoff is also reduced by half.
Way ticket
A way ticket can be defined as a keno ticket marked with at least three equal groups of numbers, each group combining with the other groups to form several straight ticket combinations. A way ticket might look like this, with the fraction 3 / 8 referring to a three-way eight-spot.
Note that each circled group contains four selected numbers, or four-spots. Therefore, when playing this ticket, each four spot combines with the other four-spots to make three possible eight-spots. This means that there are three possible combinations of eight numbers from the three four-spots selected. type of ticket
