You have a 49% chance to double your money, how is that such a large disadvantage?

I meant to say in the higher tiers especially. Having a 49% chance to double your money is really not too bad for a casino game, and is actually even a tiny bit better than betting red or black in roulette. The higher tiers though, and that "lucky" bet make me cringe.

This is the kind of feedback I'm looking for. This is not the final game. I may be able to extend payout rates for higher tiers slightly if I use more numbers, but keep in mind I'm trying to keep the game as simple as possible, and in my opinion the odds on the higher tiers follow nicely with the payouts. Any ideas to extend the payout ratios will be taken into consideration. (Maybe make the payouts higher to equal their percent to hit rate?)

Make it easy. Take money and ask how the person would like to bet: even/odd, thirds, fourths, fifths, or single number. Ran 102 to keep it in house favor. 101,102 are single number bets only

Lucky bets were put in to fill the gaps for numbers 50 and 80. The idea came from an actual Money Wheel game from a casino. Open to ideas about changing the game type. Define quick draw game.

Quick draw = keno, bet on x amount of specific numbers, then dealer /ran 100 20 times. Depending on how many of the players numbers you hit, that's the payout. This is a little bit more time consuming so I imagine it would be higher bets...the player can do something like 29, 47, 68 and play it for 3 consecutive rounds. Do one round every 10 mins so lots of people can participate

You could do craps or roulette but that would require both parties to keep track of bets at home. Randoming makes everything fun!

the lucky numbers are worse odds than tier 5 with 40% the chance of hitting.

a) You didn't even think this crap through.
b) You are probably really proud of yourself.

A. :-P
Lucky Numbers are from a Money Wheel idea that I have seen. I will admit the x10 multiplier was low so I'm thinking making them /random 50 multipliers. I had a brain fart on them when making the game.
