It may not generally be thought of as the sexiest game in the arena of gambling, but keno has millions of dedicated admirers. As well it should! It’s a regularly entertaining lotto-esque game that’s easy to play, abundantly available in loads of assorted styles, and one that can yield mega-dollars for people who master its innumerable subtle rules. But let’s deal with the basics for now.

When explaining keno to newbies, some gambling pros compare it to bingo. This is at least nearly apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. However, to take that comparison too far will be to underestimate the great many unique traits that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the ability to select the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the user is given an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she needs. And it doesn’t take a super genius to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your chosen numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you used when you were in grade 3.

Now that you have picked your numbers, take your card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will collect precisely $.00 for your winning card.

So, there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s get on to something a bit more complicated, shall we?

After you’ve checked off your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action happen on the big keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you’ve got winners, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You must get back to the keno booth to collect your winnings, and a new keno game will surely begin within 5 minutes.

Strategy number two: always go back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you can’t trust yourself to make that 5 minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the max amount of keno games (the same as the number of tickets) is played, you can then get off your lazy back side and go retrieve your winnings.

Still another opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly allows you make number choices for thirty games or more. Heck, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to fret about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you know a couple of needed methods for winning keno. If you are an advanced gambler, they may appear to be stupidly obvious. But it will never hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner keno player, every bit of information will help make your keno wagering more entertaining.
