What do start and end ports do?

I'm learning how to port forward my router for my video games, but there's something that I'm confused about. There are some games that require a series of subsequent ports to be opened, for example, 61455, 61456, 61457, and 61458. Up to now, I just set each port as its own entry, but my router only allows 20 entries, and this filled all of them up fast.

I've been looking online for what "start" and "end" ports are for, but I could never find a clear answer.

Here's what I want to know, if I set the starting port to 61455, and the ending port to 61458, will it also forward all the ports in between? Or does this mean something else?
