Lotto wagers, or tickets, containing winning numbers matching the lotto draw sufficient for a winning payout are paid full normal amounts if the matched numbers are all plain numbers, but if the winning numbers of the lotto ticket contain some predetermined quantity of numbers that match numbers of the lotto draw that are colored numbers, then the winning payout is increased above levels that would correspondingly have been paid should the same winning payout of the lotto ticket have matched only numbers of the lotto draw that were plain numbers.

In a keno game the keno draw is made from numbers within a multiplicity of fields, or boards, of numbers, with (1) each field, or board, having all the numbers normal to the keno game, and with (2) at least one field, or board, having associated with at least one number of the field, or board, a secondary indicia, or differentiator, each being of one or more types each of which types is called a “color”. No two numbers of the keno draw are the same whether plain or colored, but the keno draw of different numbers can contain one or more numbers each of one or more colors. Keno wagers, or tickets, containing winning numbers matching the keno draw sufficient for a winning payout are paid full normal amounts if the matched numbers are all plain numbers, but if the winning numbers of the keno ticket contain some predetermined quantity of numbers that match numbers of the keno draw that are colored numbers, then the winning payout is increased above levels that would correspondingly have been paid should the same winning payout of the keno ticket matched only numbers of the keno draw that were plain numbers.

A toy launcher apparatus of a soft foam dart where the dart is loaded onto a spike in a firing chamber by a pusher panel that presses against the nose of the dart. The apparatus includes a dart magazine with a feed mechanism. The pusher panel is followed by a barrier sleeve that prevents the next uppermost dart in the magazine, which is being biased upward by the feed mechanism, from causing either the uppermost dart or the second uppermost dart to distort and cause a jam.
