It may not ordinarily be considered the most lucrative game in the field of betting, but keno has massive amounts of steadfast enthusiasts. And why not? It’s a constantly thrilling lottery-style game that’s a breeze to pickup, abundantly available in loads of different styles, and one that may pay out millions of dollars for players who master its countless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basic rules here.

When explaining keno to novices, some gaming masters compare it to lotto. This is at least in some ways correct, in that each game is generally numerical. But to take that comparison too far might be to discount the countless unique traits that make keno so compelling. Unlike bingo, keno players have the power to select the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is given an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he or she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a good oldpen like you used when you were a kid.

Now that you’ve checked your numbers, take the game card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The nice person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will get precisely $.00 for your efforts.

And there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s move on to something a little bit more complex, ok?

Once you’ve marked your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action unfold on a monitor. This is where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you selected winners, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to dally, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You want to get up to the keno stand to get your winnings, as a new round of keno will surely begin within five minutes.

Strategy number 2: always go back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you can not trust yourself to make that five-minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty cards. When the max amount of games (the same as the number of tickets) is played, you should then get off your numb butt and go retrieve your winnings.

Yet an additional alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly lets you make number choices for 30 keno rounds or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to fret about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!

So now you know several required schemes for winning keno. If you are a skillful player, they might seem to be very obvious. Still, it will never hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a newbie user, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno games more exciting.
