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.
  • If you don't see the calculator above, download and install the latest
    Java Plug-in (free download.)
