What it means in play
A 5-spot ticket pays on the high hit counts, and the table shows why those payouts can be large: the top catches are rare. Whether a 5-spot game is a good deal depends entirely on the paytable it uses. Run a 5-number ticket through the simulator to feel the rhythm, or check any specific catch in the odds calculator.
