Despite all the negative comments, the game payout percentage on Montana's game is higher than that of Ohio's, due to Montana's higher payouts for hitting 6 and 7. The Ohio game payout percentage is 50.91%, Montana's is 58.71%.

Unfortunately, it's not a typo. It really is just a horrible payout.

Those payouts for this game in Montana are way out of line.

I wonder who came up with them. Don't play the game Montana players.

You are getting totally robbed

That's even weaker than Texas' Cash 5. The odds are WAY out of line for that kind of money.

In Keno, it's as hard to match nothing as it is to match four or more of the winning numbers.

Because it's more likely to hit 5 numbers than not hit any at all. It's just pretty much a we feel sorry for you payout.

How can you get a 2.00 winner if you don't match any numbers?..I'm lost..

Only $25,000 for matching 10? I hope that was a typo.
