Super Times Pay Keno
Introduction
Super Times Pay Keno plays like ordinary four-card spot keno, except adds random multipliers. For the multiplier feature, the player must add 20% to his bet.
Rules
- The player picks 2 to 8 numbers in the range of 1 to 80 on four different cards.
- The player makes a bet that is evenly divisible by 5. 1/5 of the total bet shall be applied to each of four cards, for a total of 4/5 of the total amount bet. The other 1/5 is a fee to pay for the multiplier feature.
- The game shall randomly determine if the player wins a multiplier.
- If the player does win a multiplier, it can be 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x.
- The game shall draw 20 numbers without replacement from balls numbered 1 to 80.
- The base win shall be according to the number of balls that match the numbers chosen by the player. An example pay table is below.
- If the player did not win a multiplier, then his actual win is the base win. If the player did win a multiplier, then his actual win is the product of the multiplier and the base win.
Example
In the image above I picked six numbers on each card. My bet was 10 credits per card, 8 of which went to the base bet and 2 to pay for the multiplier feature.
The game awarded a random multiplier of 3x.
On cards A and B, I caught 3 numbers for a base win of 3. Given by base bet of 8 credits and the multiplier of 3, the total win for that card was 8 × 3 × 3 = 72 for each card.
On card C, I caught 4 numbers for a base win of 4. Given by base bet of 8 credits and the multiplier of 4, the total win for that card was 8 × 4 × 3 = 96.
The total "win" for all four cards was 72+72+96 = 240. Keep in mind I bet 40 credits, so the actual win was 200.
