Title: Automatic keno game

Abstract: This invention relates to a numbers game apparatus, among other things, for taking money, giving change, printing and giving out tickets, validating tickets, finding and checking winners, finding out the odds, and determining the amounts won by winning tickets. Apparatus is provided at a plurality of points remote from a central location where the money is taken, change, if any, is given, the amount bet is selected and a ticket is given out printed with, among other information, the numbers bet, the amount of the bet, the number, time, and date of the game, and the remote location. Also, at the remote locations, the winning numbers are posted and the local machine is prevented from accepting bets on a game just prior to numbers being drawn for that game. The ticket validation, the records, and the paying desk including manned payout windows and manned betting windows and of course the machine for drawing numbers is located at the central office or location. Thereby bets may be made on the same game at many locations, easing the line at the central station. Since the remote location is automatic, a great saving in personnel is effected.
