Triple Diamond Keno

Introduction

Triple Diamond Keno, a lesser-known variation of Keno, has been entertaining players since 1996. This version works similarly to standard Keno, but players might also reveal diamond symbols during the ball draw. If participants find three diamonds, they are rewarded with triple their initial bet along with three complimentary games that come with a tripled winning multiplier.

Presently, this game feels quite outdated and can be challenging to locate. I would venture to say that your best chances to play are on older cathode ray tube GameMaker machines. It bears some resemblance to other games, yet its graphics fail to meet modern standards, which likely contributes to the declining appeal of Triple Diamond Keno. Caveman Keno When both the player and the game select the same number, it is termed a 'catch.' The more number catches a player achieves, the greater their winnings can be. Occasionally, the game may also reward players even if no catches are made.

Rules

1. Player chooses 2 to 10 numbers from 1 to 80.
2. The game will choose 20 numbers from 1 to 80.
3. The game cleverly conceals diamond symbols among the numbers that the player has not selected. If three diamonds are revealed during the selection of 20 random numbers, the player is awarded both of the following benefits.
4. Three complimentary games, each featuring a 3x multiplier (meaning every win during these free games is tripled).
   • Three times his bet.
   • When a player uncovers three diamonds during a free game, they secure a reward nine times their original wager. However, this does not extend the number of free games they can play.
5. The chance of landing three diamonds is exactly 2%, a probability that is established independently from the ball drawing process.
6. You can apply standard Keno mathematics to evaluate the game's returns, disregarding the Triple Diamond feature for the moment. If the basic return of the game is represented as 'b', then the overall return can be calculated as 1.18 times 'b' plus 0.0708.
