Lotteries have always provided entertainment for everyone, and the rise of online gaming permanently transformed the way people engage with live lotto betting. While the odds remain unchanged for the most part, there are plenty of options available for placing bets. At Casino Days New Zealand, we acknowledge the widespread appeal of live lotto casino betting, and that is why we offer a wide range of lotto games available for Kiwi players.
The game works by selecting a set of numbers from a predetermined range (e.g., 1 to 30). Winning digits are drawn from a machine containing balls - the draw occurs in real-time, often hosted by a live dealer who interacts with everyone. Players must match a set amount of drawn numbers to win. Both the live dealer and the players wait to see the final result. We recommend that you review the rules of the lottery game you would like to play before doing so, as each game has slightly different rules.
The most popular live lotto games currently available in our New Zealand casino are Mega Ball, Keno, and Bet On Numbers Live. By fusing classic lottery components with live dealer formats, they are made to offer an interactive experience that’s unmatched by any other casino game.
Mega Ball is an innovative live casino game developed by Evolution Gaming. It combines elements of bingo and lottery mechanics, and it creates an engaging and interactive experience. Gamers can purchase between 1 to 400 virtual cards, each containing a 5x5 grid of numbers. During each round, 20 balls are drawn from a total of 51 multi-coloured balls. As they are drawn, matching numbers on players' cards are automatically marked off. The objective of the game is to complete as many lines as possible, which might be diagonal, vertical, or horizontal.
Keno is a well-liked lottery-style game that is very popular at our casino. It combines elements of luck and strategy, allowing players to select numbers and win, based on how many of their chosen numbers match those drawn. From a pool of 80, participants must choose numbers between 1 to 20. The more numbers you select, the higher will the payout be. Those 20 numbers are drawn randomly by a random number generator (RNG). We recommend that you read and familiarize yourself with the game’s rules and regulations before playing.
Bet On Numbers is a live lottery-based game that provides players with a unique opportunity to engage in a fast-paced betting experience. Contestants can wager on various outcomes depending on the numbers drawn in it, which range from 1 to 49. After each draw, 6 balls are chosen randomly. It is hosted by a live dealer, and players watch as it unfolds in real-time. A range of betting possibilities is available to everyone such as:
The game appeals to both casual gamers and those looking for more serious gambling chances - offering various betting options and short draw intervals.
Live lotto games and international lotteries differ in several key aspects, including gameplay, interaction, frequency of draws, and player engagement.
Gameplay Mechanics
Players take part in real-time drawings that take place every few minutes when playing live lottery games. In international lotteries like Mega Millions or the UK National Lottery, they have to purchase tickets for draws that only happen on a particular day (e.g., twice a week).
Participants can choose from a variety of betting alternatives when playing the live lottery. The payouts will change depending on the kind of wager they make. Usually, the winning numbers are made public immediately after the draw. National lottery players must purchase tickets at fixed prices, as well as follow a predefined payout structure to win if a matching drawn number occurs. Compared to live lottery games, the chances of winning big are typically lower.
Although gaming commissions sometimes oversee live lotto games, their regulations may differ from those of conventional lotteries. National lotteries are state-regulated organizations that adhere to stringent legal requirements and are supervised by government agencies, such as the Gambling Commission in the UK.
