Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the user is granted an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as many (or as few) numbers as she desires. And it doesn’t take a genius to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your handpicked numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you had when you were a kid.
Once you have selected your numbers, take your game card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The keno pit manager will record your numbers and then give you a receipt.

When the maximum amount of rounds (the same as the amount of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your numb rump and go redeem your winnings.
Still another option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which generally 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 redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!
