It may not generally be looked at as the funnest game in the arena of betting, but keno has tons of devout players. And so it should! It’s a routinely exciting lotto-esque game that’s a snap to pickup, abundantly available in loads of different variations, and one that can pay out millions for people who master its many subtle rules. But let’s deal with the basics for now.

When defining keno to beginners, some wagering masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least nearly apt, in that each game is essentially numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far can be to belittle the good many unique traits that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno users 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 furnished with an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as many (or as few) numbers as he needs. And it doesn’t take a super genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your chosen numbers with a standard#2 pencil like you had when you were a kid.

After you’ve picked your numbers, take your card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The clerk will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will win exactly $.00 for your efforts.

OK, so there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let us move on to something a bit more complicated, what do you think?

After you’ve checked off your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and observe the action unfold on a monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you selected winners, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, and then a new keno game will almost certainly start within not too many minutes.

Strategy number two: always make it back to the keno booth on time!

Since you can not trust yourself to beat that five-minute deadline each and every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty tickets. When the max amount of keno games (the same as the amount of tickets) is completed, you can then get off your lazy butt and go get your winnings.

Another choice is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which usually lets you make number picks for 30 keno rounds or more. Hell, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

And now you know a few required methods for winning keno. If you are a discerning player, they might appear to be quite obvious. Still, it won’t hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice user, every bit of advice will help make your keno experience more agreeable.
