7. If both of the first two horseshoes catch, then the player will earn a 5x multiplier on all wins.
8. If the first two horseshoes result in a silver horseshoe catch, but not gold, then the player will earn a 2x multiplier on silver and combined keno wins.
9. If the first two horseshoes result in a gold horseshoe catch, but not silver, then the player will earn a 2x multiplier on gold and combined keno wins.

Finally, there is a mystery bonus game, which adds 0.5% to the return of the game. This page does not otherwise address this mystery bonus, since I consider it to be outside the scope of the game.

Example

In the game above, I won $2.10 for seven combined horseshoes, $0.05 for three silver horseshoes, and $0.35 for four gold horseshoes, for a total of $2.50. Not bad for a $0.05 bet.
