But let’s begin with the basic rules for now.

When explaining keno to newcomers, some betting experts compare it to bingo. This is at least to some extent correct, in that both games are generally numerical. But to take that comparison too far might be to devalue the many unique traits that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the power to pick the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the player is accord an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as numerous (or as few) numbers as he needs. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your handpicked numbers with a good old#2 pencil like you used back in the day.

Now that you’ve marked your numbers, carry the keno card back to the nice person at the keno stand. The person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt.

If you picked winners, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to take your time, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You need to get up to the keno stand to get your winnings, and a new drawing will probably begin within 5 minutes.

Since you don’t trust yourself to beat that five-minute margin every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the max amount of keno games (fitting the amount of tickets) is finished, you can then get off your numb butt and go get your winnings.

Another opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly lets you make number choices for thirty games or more. Gosh, you can take all the time in the world and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you know a number of necessary schemes for winning keno. If you are an advanced user, they may seem stupidly obvious. But it does not hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a newbie keno player, every little bit of direction will help make your keno betting more exciting.
