It may not often be looked at as the most lucrative game in the arena of gaming, but keno has tons of passionate followers. And it should! It’s a always exciting lotto-style game that’s a snap to pickup, readily available in loads of different styles, and one that will pay out millions of dollars for people who master its uncounted subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basics for now.

When describing keno to newcomers, some wagering pros compare it to bingo. This is at least to a certain extent correct, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. But to carry that comparison too far will be to discount the endless unique aspect that make keno so interesting. Unlike bingo, keno players have the freedom to pick the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as she desires. 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 ordinary#2 pencil like you had when you were a kid.

After you’ve picked your numbers, take the card back to the person at the keno stand. The person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning slip on you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your winning card.

Ok, there you have strategy number one: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let us get on to something a bit more complex, shall we?

After you’ve picked your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action happen on the video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you selected winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get up to the keno booth to get your winnings, as a new drawing will surely get going within a few minutes.

Strategy #2: always make sure to get back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you do not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin each time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 slips. When the max amount of games (the same as the amount of tickets) is played, you should then get off your lazy butt and go redeem your winnings.

Yet another option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally lets you make number choices for thirty keno games or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to France and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

So now you have learned a few indispensable schemes for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable user, they might seem to be very obvious. However, it will never hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a new gambler, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno betting more fun.
