The Balloon Game is a unique keno-style game offered on multi-game machines from U1 Gaming. I've encountered these machines at several casinos in Las Vegas, including the Las Vegas Club, Rampart, and Dotty's. This game is akin to keno, but instead of using three eggs, it employs five balloons for gameplay. Caveman Keno In this game, five numbers will be selected from the remaining pool of options, and they're represented by balloons.
U1's games are designed to include random bonuses in addition to the primary gaming experience. These bonuses appear to contribute an extra 0.5% to the overall return. I've noticed that, in nearly every case except one, my actual return is 0.5% lower than what the game claims to offer. This page focuses solely on analyzing the primary game mechanics, intentionally disregarding the impact of the random bonuses.
During the game, it will randomly select 20 numbers from a pool of 1 to 80, keeping track of how many of those match the player's selected numbers, including the balloons. When a number with a balloon is drawn, that balloon will burst.
Winnings are determined based on how many numbers and balloons the player has matched and popped.
Here, we'll discuss the game in terms of the number of picks a player can make, ranging from 2 to 10. Instead of repeating the introductory phrases for each pick count, I’ll clarify them all at once.
Odds
Payout Table : This outlines the payouts for each winning scenario, with calculations based on a maximum wager of $2, similar to what is offered at Rampart casino. Betting less than this amount will lead to reduced payouts.
Winning Combinations : This indicates the number of distinct winning combinations based on the player's matches and balloons popped. It's worth noting that Excel can only compute up to 15 significant digits, so I hope Microsoft takes note of this limitation. Winning Odds : This provides the statistical chances of achieving each type of win based on how many catches and balloons were popped. Return Metrics : This reflects each win's contribution to the overall return based on captures and popped balloons. The adjacent image illustrates the total return expected from the game.
Here’s a summary of returns related to selecting between 2 to 10 numbers, calculated based on a $2 wager at Rampart casino.
