Redneck Keno

1. Players can select between 2 to 10 numbers out of a total of 80.
2. The game automatically chooses 20 numbers from the same set of 1 to 80. Among these, twelve will be marked as silver horseshoes, and eight will be represented as gold.
3. The first two numbers drawn are indicated by one silver and one gold horseshoe.
4. The first winning method depends on the total matches between silver and gold horseshoes, provided there's at least one of each color. The accompanying payout table illustrates the potential wins based on a $2 stake placed at the Las Vegas Club.

7. If both of the initial horseshoes drawn yield matches, the player will receive a 5x multiplier on their winnings.
8. In a scenario where only the silver horseshoe is matched among the first two, the player earns a 2x multiplier on the wins from silver and combined keno.
9. If the first two horseshoes yield a gold match without a silver, the winnings from gold and combined keno will receive a 2x multiplier.

Lastly, there is a surprise bonus game that contributes an additional 0.5% to the overall game returns. This mystery bonus isn’t elaborated on here, as I believe it diverges from the primary focus of the game.

Example

During my experience with this game, I managed to win $2.10 for matching seven combined horseshoes, received $0.05 for three silver horseshoes, and earned $0.35 for four gold horseshoes, bringing my total to $2.50 from a $0.05 wager. Quite a decent return!
