Lucky 5 is one of the simplest and fastest games on YesPlay, making it one of the more accessible games on the site. You get to watch the studio feed in real-time as five balls are being drawn from a total of 36 balls. You can place all sorts of different bets without being distracted by bright colours and sounds. Here are the three myths that most new players fall for.
Myth one
Don’t be fooled when people try to tell you that Lucky 5 is a national lotto because it is not. The national draw sells tickets and pays from a pool, but Lucky 5 on YesPlay has fixed odds. You get to pick from outcomes the trader lists and then get paid according to the price displayed on the screen. You can bet on a single number, colour count, totals, or odd and even mixes appearing. The order in which balls are drawn is decided by the machine’s cylinders, so it’s always a good idea to read the line that you choose before you place a bet.
Myth two
While the adrenaline of betting makes us want to go for those ridiculous longshots with high rewards, sometimes it’s just better to keep it simple. Shorter odds often exist for ideas like a colour count range, or odd and even numbers. If you are betting small amounts, you can still feel excited if you pick lines that you understand. For example, a R26 bet at 4.50 will get you R117. In this way you can still test out the waters without losing too much money.

Myth three
“Draws take ages.” Not really, rounds end every few minutes, making this the perfect time-killer if you’re bored at home, on your coffee break or waiting in line to pay your bills. On YesPlay you can find Lucky 5 under Casino Games and the BetGames tab, so you don’t need to spend 10 minutes trying to find it, you can just deposit, and you’re good to go. If you want to make it worth your time and money, you should try to come up with a reasonable strategy instead of stacking the slip with a million random guesses. Calm down, keep a steady pace, and you’ll be able to stay in the game for a longer time, which is what we all want.
