Has anyone ever tried to sell anything more than a 10-spot card? I’m never seen it.
“Fun fact: The odds of hitting 20 spots on a keno card are one in 3.5 quintillion. It’s never happened.”
That’s an amusing statistic, but seems irrelevant. That’s like giving the odds of hitting 00 on ten consecutive spins of a roulette wheel. Astronomical, and meaningless.
The odds of hitting all 10 of your spots on a keno game, I’ve never considered how long those are. But that statistic would mean something. Gambler’s Edge says the odds are 1 in 8,911,711.18.
So 1 in 8.9 million, to keep it simple.
The Gambler’s Edge page does show the odds for up to 15 spots in a game. I won’t dissect them, I’m not the Wizard of Odds. But hitting 15 of 15 in a keno game is 1 in 428 billion.
