Lucky 5

Introduction

Lucky 5 is an exciting lottery-style game offered as a live dealer experience at online casinos powered by advanced software. In this game, five balls are drawn from a total of 36. Betgames.tv Every five minutes, a charming dealer comes on screen to draw five balls from a large container filled with 36 different balls.

Rules



  1. The balls are categorized into four colors, each consisting of nine numbers: blue, red, green, and white.
  2. Players have a variety of betting options for the ball drawing. For more information, refer to the detailed list provided in the analysis section to avoid redundancy.
  3. The table below presents all the betting options, their payouts, the number of winning combinations (totaling 376,992), the odds of winning, and the expected return for players. All payouts are calculated on a 'for one' basis, denoting the total amount returned for a winning bet. Several of these bets involve one or more colors, such as betting that at least 1.5 white balls will be drawn. To minimize repetition, I've summarized similar bets and labeled them as 'chosen color.'

Analysis
