It won’t ordinarily be looked at as the best game in the field of betting, but keno has millions of fanatical players. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a regularly exciting lotto-esque game that’s a breeze to master, abundantly available in several different formats, and one that may yield millions for people who learn its limitless subtle rules. But let’s start with the basics for now.

When explaining keno to newbies, some wagering masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least to some extent apt, in that each game is essentially numerical. But to carry that comparison too far is likely to be to detract from the good many unique traits that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno users have the power to choose the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is granted an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as many (or as few) numbers as she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your selected numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you used when you were in third grade.

Now that you’ve checked your numbers, carry your game card back to the keno pit manager at the keno stand. The clerk will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will be given precisely $.00 for your efforts.

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

Now that you’ve selected your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action take place on the monitor. That’s where the winning numbers appear in lights. If you selected winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to dally, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get up to the keno booth to collect your winnings, since a new round of keno will certainly start within a few minutes.

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

Since you can not trust yourself to beat that five-minute margin 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 twenty tickets. When the maximum amount of games (matching the number of tickets) is played, you can then get off your numb rump and go get your winnings.

Yet an additional opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally lets you make number choices for 30 rounds or more. Heck, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

And now you know several required techniques for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable user, they might seem to be stupidly obvious. However, it won’t hurt to bone up on the basic tactics, and if you are a new gambler, every bit of direction will help make your keno experience more agreeable.
