The Kenolyzer Analysis Tool is a keno calculator that lets you get the return of a keno schedule. The variance, hit percentage, and jackpot frequency are also given.
Select the number of spots by clicking on the down arrow at the bottom of the calculator.
Enter the bet size at the bottom of the calculator.
Enter the payouts under the Pays column.
Click the "Get Return" button to calculate the return.
The overall return percentage is given immediately to the right of the "Totals:" label and under the Return column.

Tips

The variance per unit bet is to the right of the "Totals:" label and under the Variance column. Variance is a mathematical measure of the fluctuations inherent in the game.
The contributions to return and variance for each payout are listed under the Return and Variance columns.
The Frequency column lists the average frequency with which each payout will occur. A frequency of 12 means that the chance of winning is 1 in 12. The odds of hitting a payout are equal to the frequency minus 1.
The hit percentage and jackpot frequency are listed near the bottom.
The hit percentage is the average percentage of time that a win will occur.
The jackpot is defined as the largest payout. If the same jackpot is listed on multiple catch lines, then all those lines contribute to the jackpot frequency.
Click the "Clear" button to clear the Pays column and enter a new keno schedule.
