KINO delays
In every KINO draw, 20 of the 80 numbers come out, so every number has a 25% chance. A number that has missed 20 draws has 25% again in the next one: the machine has no memory. The long delays that statistics pages show happen every day, by chance alone.
How this works
- What it does
- This page shows how long a KINO number goes without being drawn: the chance of each delay, how many numbers are on such a delay at any moment, and the longest delay of a typical day.
- How to use it
- Nothing to type. Find the delay you saw on a statistics page in the first table.
- How to read the result
- However long a number has waited, its chance in the next draw is the same 25%. A long delay is what chance produces every day, not a sign that a number is coming.
How often a number sits out
| Draws without it | Chance for one number | Numbers out that long, at any moment | Chance in the next draw |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 1 in 3.16 | 25.3 | 25% |
| 8 | 1 in 9.99 | 8 | 25% |
| 12 | 1 in 31.57 | 2.5 | 25% |
| 16 | 1 in 99.77 | 0.8 | 25% |
| 20 | 1 in 315 | 0.3 | 25% |
| 25 | 1 in 1,329 | fewer than 0.1 | 25% |
| 30 | 1 in 5,600 | fewer than 0.1 | 25% |
| 40 | 1 in 99,437 | fewer than 0.1 | 25% |
At any moment, about 8 of the 80 numbers have been out for at least 8 draws: that is why a list of delays is never empty. The last column never changes.
The longest delay of a day
A day has 288 draws. One particular number's longest absence in it is, on average, about 16 draws. Of all 80 together, one almost always goes much further: in 1,000 simulated days, the longest delay of the day was typically 31 draws (about 2.6 hours), and on 9 days in 10 between 26 and 41.
A delay of 30 draws came on 67% of the days, and one of 40 draws on 7%. It is not something rare that needs explaining: it is what chance does.
What follows a long delay
In the same simulation, a number had missed at least 20 draws 73,380 times. It came in the next draw 24.69% of the time: exactly what every number has in every draw, 25%, within the small spread chance leaves. A number is never due; the draws are independent.
The same holds for the "hot" numbers that come often, as the guide to hot and cold numbers shows. The chance and cost of every play are on the KINO odds page.
How these are worked out
The chance that a number misses d draws is exactly (60/80)d, and the numbers out that long average 80 × (60/80)d. Both are checked against the site's maths library. One number's longest absence in a day comes from the exact distribution of run lengths. The simulation draws 20 of 80 288 times a day for 1,000 days from a fixed seed (trainyourodds-kino-delays-2026-11-08), so anyone can repeat it.
