Caveman Keno

Introduction

Caveman keno is the same as conventional keno In this game, three specific numbers are selected prior to the draw, and players who match at least two of these with the 20 drawn numbers will receive a multiplier prize.

Rules

  1. Players have the option to select between two to ten numbers, which can range from 1 to 80, similar to the traditional keno format.
  2. The software randomly selects three numbers from the pool of those not chosen by the player, and these numbers are indicated with dinosaur egg symbols.
  3. Subsequently, the program will randomly draw 20 numbers from the same range of 1 to 80, akin to standard keno practices.
  4. The player's winnings will be influenced by how many of their chosen numbers correspond with the 20 numbers revealed by the computer, reflecting the rules of regular keno.
  5. The total winnings will depend on the amount of matching eggs that align with the 20-ball draw, with typical multipliers being 1x for no matches, 4x for matching two, and often 8x for three matches.
  6. The final payout for the player will be calculated by multiplying the initial win amount according to the payout structure by the applicable multiplier.

Example

In the aforementioned game, I selected five numbers: 2, 17, 23, 54, and 59. The game subsequently designated eggs to the numbers 10, 47, and 62.

Out of the 20 numbers drawn, my picks 17 and 54 were successful, and additionally, two eggs—10 and 62—were matched.

My wager of ten credits resulted in a payout of 10 credits for matching two out of five picks. Moreover, I secured a 4x multiplier for matching two eggs, yielding a total win of 4 multiplied by 10, equating to 40 credits.
