Keno Schemes That Work
It won’t often be deemed the most fun game in the world of betting, but keno has millions and millions of devout supporters. And it ought to! It’s a always exciting lottery-type game that’s easy to play, readily available in several different formats, and one that can return millions of dollars for players who learn its uncounted subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basic facts for now.
When explaining keno to newcomers, some wagering masters compare it to lotto. This is at least to a certain degree apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far might be to belittle the great many unique traits that make keno so interesting. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the power to select the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the user is given an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as many (or as few) numbers as he wants. 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 each of your desired numbers with a standardball point pen like you used when you were in grade 3.
Once you’ve marked your numbers, take the game card back to the girl at the keno stand. The person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will collect exactly $.00 for your actions.
So, there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let us get on to something a little more complicated, shall we?
Now that you’ve picked out your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action happen on the screen. That is where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to take your time, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, and a new keno game will certainly get going within a few minutes.
Strategy number two: always be sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Since you can not trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 tickets. When the max number of keno games (the same as the number of tickets) is played out, you will then be able to get off your lazy butt and go redeem your winnings.
Yet another alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which usually allows you make number selection for 30 games or more. Golly, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!
