As if there aren't enough Quick Draw games in a day now. Currently 158 games are played over a course of 13 hours. Reducing the time between games to 4 minutes will increase the number of games from 158 to 197, almost a 25% increase.
The only thing I don't care for with the Quick Draw game is that the odds for each of the games are not presented. Only what they call the Overall odds for each of the spot games. ie, the 10 spot game has 7 prize levels to play, pick 10 of 10, 9 of 10, 8 of 10, 7 of 10, 6 of 10, 5 of 10, and 0 of 10. The overall odds to win from the 7 levels is 1:9.05. It is never mentioned the odds to win 10 of 10 for a $100,000 prize is 1:8,911,711.
One cannot select the best game odds to play working with nothing but the Overall odds for a comparison. I call these Fuzzy odds.
Look at this comparison of odds between Quick Draw keno, Take 5/39 and Lotto 6/59.
