It may not generally be deemed the best game in the field of betting, but keno has loads of dedicated players. And it ought to! It’s a always entertaining lottery-style game that’s a snap to learn, readily available in loads of alternate formats, and one that can pay out mega-dollars for players who learn its uncounted subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basic facts here.

When defining keno to amateurs, some gambling connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least to a certain degree correct, in that each game is basically numerical. But to take that comparison too far might be to minimize the great many unique characteristics that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno players have the power to select the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to choose as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she desires. And it doesn’t take a genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your handpicked numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you had when you were in third grade.

Now that you have checked your numbers, take your keno card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The nice person will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your loud shirt and would like to help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will get exactly $.00 for your time spent.

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

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action unfold on a video monitor. That is where the winning numbers show up for us. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to take too much time, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get back to the keno stand to get your winnings, and then a new keno game will probably get going within a few minutes.

Strategy number two: always be sure to get back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you don’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the maximum amount of rounds (the same as the number of tickets) is completed, you may then get off your lazy butt and go collect your winnings.

Yet another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally lets you make number picks for thirty rounds or more. Heck, you can take vacation to France and not have to fret about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!

And now you know a couple necessary methods for winning keno. If you are an adept user, they might seem stupidly obvious. Still, it will not hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice gambler, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno playing more enjoyable.
