Dear Mark,
I play my fair share of “way” tickets
in keno. I have been told that by playing way tickets
versus individual ones of the same numbers, my odds
improve against the house. Is this true? Martin
S.
A “way” ticket
groups different numbers and combinations to create
more than one way to win on one ticket. You can also
make the same groupings of bets using several individual
tickets. I am sorry to say, Martin, that playing a
way ticket does not change the casino’s enormous
built-in edge. Making multiple wagers on one ticket
provide the same payouts and the same odds as placing
separate bets. The only benefit to way tickets is
that the minimum required bet could be lower.
