How do I play?
- Choose a ticket: Quick Five (5 numbers), Ten Spot (10) or High Roller (15).
- Tap numbers on the board, or tap Quick Pick for random numbers. You must pick exactly the right amount.
- Set your bet and tap Draw.
- 20 numbers are drawn. Each of your numbers that appears is a hit.
- You can save a set of numbers under Sets and reuse it.
What is the 8% rule?
After the 20 numbers are drawn, there is an 8% chance of a swap if you have at least one hit.
- One of your hits is chosen at random and replaced by a number you did not pick and that was not drawn.
- Your hit count drops by 1.
- The chances in the tables already include this.
Where does the house edge come from?
The chance of m hits when you pick k numbers is C(k, m) x C(80 - k, 20 - m) / C(80, 20). The 8% rule is applied on top.
- Return = sum of chance x multiplier over the paying hit counts.
- Quick Five: 89.16% returned. Ten Spot: 86.42%. High Roller: 73.99%.
- The edge is 100% minus that return.
When does the casino bust?
If the full payout is more than the vault holds, the table busts.
- The payout includes your bet, which is not in the vault.
- You are paid the vault only. Your bet is not returned.
- You become the owner unless you are under protection.
Tips
- Quick Five has the lowest house edge. High Roller has the highest.
- A payout of 'Stake back' returns your bet and no more.
- The top prizes are very unlikely. Expect most draws to pay nothing.
