It may not commonly be looked at as the sexiest game in the universe of gaming, but keno has loads of zealous supporters. And it ought to! It’s a routinely exciting lotto-esque game that’s easy to pickup, readily available in tons of alternate variations, and one that may return millions for players who master its heaps of subtle nuances. But let’s start with the basics here.

When explaining keno to novices, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to the lottery. This is at least tolerably apt, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far is likely to be to detract from the countless unique traits that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno players have the power to select the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is accord an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your chosen numbers with a normalball point pen like you used when you were in grade 3.

After you have marked your numbers, carry your keno card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The girl will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will get exactly $.00 for your efforts.

So, there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let us go on to something a little bit more complex, ok?

Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and see the action take place on a monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you marked winners, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to drag your feet, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get back to the keno stand to get your winnings, and then a new round of keno will almost certainly start within 5 minutes.

Strategy number 2: always be sure to get back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you do not trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty cards. When the max amount of games (fitting the amount of tickets) is completed, you may then get off your lazy back side and go collect your winnings.

Yet an additional option is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which commonly lets you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Hell, you can take vacation to France and not have to fret about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you have learned several required techniques for winning keno. If you are an advanced gambler, they might appear to be incredibly obvious. However, it will never hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a new player, every bit of information will help make your keno playing time more enjoyable.
