It may not generally be thought of as the most lucrative game in the field of gambling, but keno has loads of passionate players. As well it should! It’s a regularly exciting lotto-esque game that’s easy to learn, abundantly available in tons of assorted styles, and one that will yield millions of dollars for people who master its limitless subtle rules. But let’s deal with the basic rules here.

When describing keno to novices, some gaming masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least tolerably apt, in that both games are generally numerical. But to take that comparison too far might be to devalue the good many unique traits that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the freedom to choose the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is accord an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as he desires. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your chosen numbers with a ordinarypen like you had when you were in school.

After you have checked your numbers, carry the keno card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning slip with you, you will get exactly $.00 for your time spent.

Ok, there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let’s move on to something a little bit more complex, shall we?

Once you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and see the action take place on the video monitor. This is where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you have winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to drag your feet, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You are required to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, and then a new keno game will probably start up within 5 minutes.

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

Assuming you can’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin each time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to 20 slips. When the maximum number of rounds (the same as the amount of tickets) is played, you will then be able to get off your numb back side and go redeem your winnings.

Yet another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which usually allows you make number picks for 30 rounds or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to France and not have to fret about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

And now you know a number of essential techniques for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable player, they may seem to be incredibly obvious. Still, it won’t hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a new keno player, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno experience more exciting.
