Reason #4 why the Wizard likes Bovada:

One-Stop Shopping

Bovada offers the triple crown of gambling: casino, poker, and sports. Many other casinos have tacked on poker as an afterthought, and many poker rooms have tacked on a casino as an afterthought, and the lack of attention shows, sometimes painfully. And very few of these sites let you make sports wagers.

But Bovada doesn’t just offer all three, they do each one well, and everything’s integrated. It’s easy to play all three off one deposit, off just one account.

Another nice thing about Bovada is that you don’t need a separate account to play casino games with fake money. In fact you do not even need an account for that at all, you can just click over there and play. Finally, Bovada usernames are only six or seven characters long making them possible to remember. By contrast some competitors’ usernames are extremely long and cumbersome.

Super Keno

Last Update: Mar 02, 2005

Rules

Super Keno is a video keno variation found on some machines that support multiple games. The rules are the same as regular keno, except if the first ball the game draws is a winner (one of the player's picks) then any win will be multiplied by four.

Return

The following pay tables were taken from a 25-cent game at the Gold Coast on March 1, 2005. The column titled "Prob Super Ball" is the probability that the player catches the first ball drawn. The total return for each number of picks in the lower right cell of the table.

The returns for 5-cents were about 2.5% less, except for the pick 1.

Strategy

Of the above pay tables the pick 6 has marginally the best return on 92.99%. However against other pay tables this may not be true. In video keno the returns for the pick 1 and pick 2 are usually the lowest, and therefore should be avoided. Based on other research I find that games offering regular keno as well as keno variations have about the same return on all forms of keno. So you should play what you find the most enjoyable.
