It won’t commonly be seen as the best game in the realm of gaming, but keno has millions and millions of steadfast followers. And it ought to! It’s a constantly thrilling lotto-like game that’s simple to master, readily available in many different styles, and one that will return millions of dollars for gamblers who learn its heaps of subtle rules. But let’s begin with the basic facts for now.

When defining keno to newcomers, some gambling experts compare it to bingo. This is at least to some extent apt, in that each game is essentially numerical. However, to take that comparison too far will be to devalue the great many unique traits that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the power to choose the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is given an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as he 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 your picked numbers with a standardball point pen like you used back in school.

Now that you have checked your numbers, carry your keno card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The girl 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 you and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your winning card.

Now there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s advance to something a bit more advanced, yes?

Once you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and see the action take place on the screen. That is where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get up to the keno stand to get your winnings, as a new drawing will certainly start within not too many minutes.

Strategy #2: always be sure to get back to the keno stand on time!

Since you can not trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline each time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the maximum amount of rounds (fitting the number of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your numb butt and go get your winnings.

Yet an additional opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly allows you make number picks for thirty rounds or more. Hell, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to fret about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

And now you know a couple required schemes for winning keno. If you are a good player, they may seem quite obvious. Still, it will not hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner keno player, every little bit of information will help make your keno playing time more fun.
