Lucky 5 is another game by betgame.tv. This one is kind of like a keno game, with five balls drawn out of 36. The balls are divided into four colors of nine balls each. Most of the bets relate to the color of the balls drawn. For all the rules and analysis, please click my link. As always, I welcome all questions, comments, and especially corrections.

The question for the poll is would you play Lucky 5?

p.s. The last poll option should be "bed" not "bet."

This was one of my game ideas a few years ago at a friend's request
and with the 36 numbers I found it interesting to make many sum bets.
I can not find that sheet today but here are the sums for 36 draw 5 (numbered 1 to 36)
only took 2 minutes 
starting with code from Pari Gp and moving the results into Excel

maybe they might be interested in expanding the 'sum bets'
say
50 to 1 for a sum of 92 (9.9% house edge)
50 to 1 for a sum of 93
and so on

I would be interested in that
as summing the 5 draws would be way easier than it is at Keno 80.20

the current game I doubt I would play, but maybe
good luck to them

what comes to mind is the Phase 10 card game Mattel toys bought from the original company a few years ago.
That original company went under a few years later, iirc, after trying to do 'all dice' games

seems to me
card games are the 'thing' these days unless there is a WOW factor that grabs one to play.
the hint here is remove the balls and replace with cards

I seems to be missing something.

Selected ball will appear — Pays 6.8
Selected ball will not appear — Pays 1.1



Is this saying I can take both side of this? Bet on say "2" then bet against "2" showing? And one or the other has to pay?

Is a House Edge of 5% or higher now the target for game designers on games with no complex basic strategy? Is that what casinos want to maximize their total revenue?

Hi gordonm888,
Yes, I think you are right.
I would say (House Edge of 4.5% or higher now the target for game designers on games with no complex basic strategy) 3.5%+ if it is a Fast/Quick game.
