Types of Keno Tickets

To show this more clearly, if we number each four-spot as A, B, and C, the following eight-spot combinations can result: AB, AC, and BC.

Each of these groups now contain eight numbers and therefore this ticket will be written as a three way eight-spot. We are using twelve numbers in all to catch an eight-spot winner, giving us a little more leverage in selection.

The ticket shown is written for $2.10, which means that you would pay 70¢ per way, but in many casinos it could be written for only 35¢ a way, even though the house has a 70¢ minimum.

Way tickets are simple to write and simple to figure out, and give you added possibilities for winning by having, in this case, twelve numbers working to win your eight-spot selections with.

Combination Tickets

These are some of the most complicated and versatile of all keno tickets, and few players use them or even know they exist. They are filled in, using the same keno blank that is used for other tickets, but they add to the gambling thrill of keno by making use of various combinations to try for a win.

What we've done is combine the three eight-spots with one twelve -spot ticket. This can be done because the three groups of four-spots add up to one twelve -spot.

Now we have a simple combination ticket of three eight-spots and one twelve -spotWe can go even further with the same ticket on the facing page. Now we have three four-spots, three eight-spots, and one twelve -spot.
