It won’t often be thought of as the funnest game in the world of gambling, but keno has loads of fanatical followers. And so it should! It’s a regularly entertaining lottery-esque game that’s uncomplicated to pickup, abundantly available in lots of different styles, and one that might return millions for players who learn its limitless subtle rules. But let’s begin with the basics for now.

When defining keno to newcomers, some betting connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least to some extent correct, in that each game is generally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far is likely to be to devalue the endless unique characteristics that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the power to pick the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is accord an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to determine as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she desires. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your handpicked numbers with a every day old#2 pencil like you used back in the day.

Now that you’ve marked your numbers, take the game card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The person will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning slip on you, you will win precisely $.00 for your efforts.

OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno receipt. Let us go on to something a bit more advanced, yes?

After you’ve picked out your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action unfold on a video monitor. That is where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you have winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to dally, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get up to the keno booth to get your winnings, and a new round of keno will almost certainly begin within 5 minutes.

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

Assuming you don’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the maximum number of rounds (matching the amount of tickets) is played out, you will then be able to get off your numb rump and go collect your winnings.

Yet an additional option is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally allows you make number choices for thirty rounds or more. Hell, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to worry about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

So now you have learned several indispensable strategies for winning keno. If you are an adept player, they may seem very obvious. Still, it will not hurt to brush up on the basic methods, and if you are a beginner gambler, every little bit of information will help make your keno games more entertaining.
