It might not commonly be considered the sexiest game in the arena of gambling, but keno has loads of fanatical admirers. And so it should! It’s a constantly thrilling lotto-type game that’s uncomplicated to pickup, abundantly available in a number of different styles, and one that can yield millions for gamblers who learn its endless subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules for now.

When defining keno to novices, some gambling pros compare it to bingo. This is at least in some ways apt, in that both games are essentially numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far would be to belittle the innumerable unique traits that make keno so interesting. Unlike bingo, keno players have the ability to pick the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is furnished with an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to determine as numerous (or as few) numbers as he wants. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your selected numbers with a normalpen like you used when you were a kid.

After you have checked your numbers, take your card back to the keno pit manager at the keno stand. The girl will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your loud shirt and wants help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will get precisely $.00 for your efforts.

Now there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let’s go on to something a tiny bit more advanced, shall we?

Once you’ve checked off your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and see the action take place on the screen. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to dilly dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get up to the keno booth to collect your winnings, and then a new drawing will likely start up within five minutes.

Strategy number two: always make it back to the keno booth on time!

Since you can’t trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the max amount of rounds (the same as the number of tickets) is completed, you are then able to get off your numb bum and go collect your winnings.

Still another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which usually lets you make number choices for 30 rounds or more. Heck, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to worry about getting back in time to retrieve your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

And now you know a couple of needed methods for winning keno. If you are a good player, they might seem quite obvious. Still, it does not hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a new player, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno gambling more exciting.
