I'll break this game down some more so everyone can see what they will be dealing with should they decide to take this game on. According to the Wiz, Triple Play Keno Draw Poker with 8/5 Bonus and a ten coin 4-spot returns 99.615%.
All of the keno payscales are set up to be a big drain on the game. They all return around 50%. But they create the multipliers. The ten coin 4-spot has an ER of 50.78%. We can use that number in a hypothetical situation to determine the effect of the multipliers on the 8/5 Bonus payscale.
What would a 25,000 coin wager (a 15,000 coin wager at video poker and a 10,000 coin wager at keno) look like? First we'll multiply the 25,000 coin wager by .99615 to get an expected return of 24,903.75 coins. The 10,000 coin wager has an ER of 50.78% or 5078 coins. So we'll subtract the 5078 from 24,903.75 to get 19,825.75. That's the number of coins the 15,000 coin wager would have to return to put the game at 99.615%. Dividing that number by the 15,000 coins puts the vdieo poker side at 132.17%.
So, in effect, you would be making a 15 coin bet with an ER of 132.17% and simultaneously making a 10 coin bet with a 50.78% return. It balances to an overall return of 99.615%.
