El Gordo

Play El Gordo

El Gordo de La Primitiva is a game of chance and its functioning is similar to La Primitiva. It consists in selecting 5 numbers of a block with numbers from 1 to 54. Each block represents a bet in which you can check your winning combination of numbers. You must also select your key number in an additional block with numbers from 0 to 9. It has two main game modes:

Simple bet:

You can play at least 1 bet and a maximum of 6 in a single ticket, with 5 numbers each bet. To play a bet you must check 5 numbers from the first block (from 1 to 54) and a key number (Rebate) from the second table (0 to 9). You choose a number and this key number will be common for all bets of the ticket. If you want to play two simple bets you must select 5 numbers from the second block, and so on until you select the number of bets you want to play.

Multiple bet:

This mode is used to make higher value bets and with which you are more likely to win than with a simple bet. Only the first block of the ticket is used, and you can play more than 5 numbers in your bet (in formulas you can use even more numbers). You must also select your key number from 0 to 9. Multiple bets can be played in two ways:

1. Direct multiple bet: All numbers from that combination are played directly. You can play the following multiples:

   • If you check the box of 6 bets, you must select 6 numbers in the first block
   • If you check the box of 21 bets, you must select 7 numbers in the first block
   • If you check the box of 56 bets, you must select 8 numbers in the first block
   • If you check the box of 126 bets, you must select 9 numbers in the first block
   • If you check the box of 252 bets, you must select 10 numbers in the first block
   • If you check the box of 462 bets, you must select 11 numbers in the first block

2. Multiple bet using formulas: is a unique mode of Lottofy, which uses mathematical formulas to intelligently reduce the number of bets, while maintaining a success rate that the player can choose. It is a cheaper way to play multiple bets, and maintain a high probability of winning.
