It will not usually be considered the most lucrative game in the world of gambling, but keno has millions and millions of dedicated admirers. And it ought to! It’s a regularly thrilling lottery-esque game that’s simple to play, readily available in several different styles, and one that will yield millions of dollars for players who master its many subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the beginner’s rules here.

When explaining keno to newcomers, some gambling masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least to a certain degree correct, in that each game is essentially numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far will be to devalue the great many unique characteristics that make keno so compelling. Not like bingo, keno players have the freedom to select the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the player is given an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your chosen numbers with a every day oldmarker like you had back in school.

After you have checked your numbers, carry the card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will be given precisely $.00 for your actions.

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

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and observe the action unfold on the screen. That is where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you selected winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to dally, 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 round of keno will certainly start within not too many minutes.

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

Since you can not trust yourself to beat that five-minute deadline every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the max number of rounds (the same as the amount of tickets) is completed, you will then be able to get off your lazy back side and go collect your winnings.

Another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which generally lets you make number choices for thirty keno games or more. Heck, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

So now you know a couple needed strategies for winning keno. If you are an experienced player, they might seem quite obvious. Still, it does not hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a new user, every bit of direction will help make your keno playing more captivating.
