It might not ordinarily be seen as the best game in the realm of wagering, but keno has millions and millions of keen players. And why not? It’s a constantly thrilling lottery-ish game that’s a breeze to pickup, abundantly available in a number of assorted styles, and one that can pay out mega-dollars for those who master its uncounted subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basic rules for now.

When defining keno to novices, some gaming masters compare it to bingo. This is at least to a certain degree correct, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. But to take that comparison too far is likely to be to downplay the countless unique aspect that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the ability to pick the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she desires. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your chosen numbers with a good oldball point pen like you used when you were in third grade.

Now that you have checked your numbers, carry your keno card back to the girl at the keno booth. The nice person will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning receipt with you, you will get exactly $.00 for your time spent.

OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let us advance to something a tiny bit more complicated, shall we?

Once you’ve selected your numbers, get into a comfy keno booth and observe the action take place on the monitor. That is where the winning numbers are shown for all to see. If you selected winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to take your time, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You must get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, and then a new keno game will likely begin within not too many minutes.

Strategy #2: always get back to the keno booth on time!

Assuming you can not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 slips. When the max number of games (the same as the number of tickets) is played out, you may then get off your numb butt and go get your winnings.

Another opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly lets you make number picks for thirty games or more. Hell, you can take vacation to France and not have to worry about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

So now you know several indispensable methods for winning keno. If you are an experienced user, they may seem to be quite obvious. However, it won’t hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice player, every little bit of information will help make your keno playing time more captivating.
