It may not commonly be looked at as the sexiest game in the field of wagering, but keno has loads of passionate enthusiasts. As well it should! It’s a regularly entertaining lotto-ish game that’s a breeze to pickup, abundantly available in many assorted variations, and one that may yield mega-dollars for those who learn its numerous subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules here.

When describing keno to amateurs, some wagering masters compare it to bingo. This is at least to some extent apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far would be to think too little of the good many unique aspect that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the power to pick the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as she thinks is appropriate. 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 desired numbers with a ordinaryball point pen like you used back in school.

After you have marked your numbers, take the game card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The nice person will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your loud shirt and would like to help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will win exactly $.00 for your time spent.

OK, so there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s get on to something a little more complex, shall we?

Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and see the action unfold on the video monitor. That is where the winning numbers are shown for all to see. If you have winners, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to move to slowly, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You want to get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, since a new keno game will surely begin within not too many minutes.

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

Since you can’t trust yourself to make that five-minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to 20 slips. When the maximum number of keno games (matching the amount of tickets) is completed, you are then able to get off your lazy back side and go get your winnings.

Yet another opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which usually lets you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Gosh, you can take all the time in the world and not have to fret about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

And now you are aware of a handful of needed methods for winning keno. If you are a good gambler, they might seem stupidly obvious. But it will never hurt to brush up on the basic techniques, and if you are a new player, every little bit of advice will help make your keno gambling more captivating.
