Types of Keno Tickets

One final statement on the complicated tickets. You should always go to the keno writer on complex way, combination, and king tickets to make certain that they are correctly "conditioned."

The casino term for the player's choice is called conditioning, and on involved tickets, you want to be sure that you have all the possible ways you wanted covered on the ticket.

Special Tickets

Many casinos, as an inducement for unsophisticated or non ­serious players, offer special tickets with varying prices and payoffs.

A few years back I was eating breakfast in a small casino in Lake Tahoe, away from the center of the town, and, having been given a keno booklet explaining a special three-spot ticket priced at 30¢ with a payoff of $35 if all three numbers caught, I picked my favorite numbers, 1, 11, and 30, paid the 30¢, and ate my breakfast.

After seventeen numbers were shown on the keno board, my ticket was worthless, with none of my numbers catching. Then 30, 11, and 1 flashed, and I was a winner of $35. I took that $35, went to the blackjack tables and parlayed it into $200. A pleasant morning indeed.
