In addition, this game is extremely useful. In young children, she develops mindfulness, quickness of reaction, memory and other skills that will help them in later life. In this article, we will give detailed rules for playing lotto with kegs at home or on the street, thanks to which even the smallest children can easily figure out the intricacies of this fun.
How many kegs are in the lotto?
In the classic version of this game, there are always 90 barrels, each of which contains numbers from 1 to 90. In addition, it includes 24 cards with 3 rows of numbers, an opaque bag, and 150-200 additional tokens designed to close those numbers, kegs with which have already been used.
Meanwhile, today there are many varieties of this game - lotto for children and adults with wooden or plastic kegs and other elements that replace them. In such variations, the number of chips and cards can be very different from the traditional version. In particular, for children of preschool age, a lotto is most often used, in a set of which 48 barrels are included.
Rules of Russian lotto with kegs
You can play in Russian lotto in 3 different ways. The simplest and most understandable among them is the "simple game" option, in which each participant is randomly given one card, after which the presenter gets one barrel from a special bag.
Pulling out one or another chip, he loudly pronounces its value, and then each player checks if there is a given number on his card. If the required number is found, the cell with it is filled with a pulled out keg or special token. Otherwise, the player waits for the next turn.
In the "simple game" wins the one who managed to fill all the cells on his card faster than others. In this case, it is possible that in this version, 2 or more participants win. The "short game" is absolutely analogous, however, to win it, it is enough to fill only one row on any card.
Finally, the most popular version of the game in the lotto is "three by three." In this case, each player receives 3 cards selected by the presenter in random order. At the same time, a certain amount of money is paid for the receipt of cards - if adults play, it can be real money. If children play in the game, candies, candy wrappers, beads, and much more can act as a currency.
The goal of each player in this case - the fastest to close the bottom lines on their cards. The one who managed to do this before everyone else, wins and takes the entire con. If during the game one of the players closes the top line on the card, the other participants need to double their bets. Gathering the middle line before the rest of the players takes a third of the total amount of bets.
Of course, the "three by three" option is not intended for young children, who are contraindicated in gambling. But teenagers with their parents and friends are happy to "cut" into this fascinating fun, exchanging small items accepted for the game currency.
There are other variants of the game in lotto with kegs, each of which presupposes the existence of a contract about the winners between the participants. Try each and you will certainly understand which one you like best of all.
