It won’t generally be looked at as the sexiest game in the universe of gambling, but keno has massive amounts of devoted supporters. And it should! It’s a constantly thrilling lotto-style game that’s simple to master, readily available in several different formats, and one that may yield millions of dollars for players who learn its endless subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basics for now.

When defining keno to novices, some gambling connoisseurs compare it to the lottery. This is at least to a certain degree correct, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. But to carry that comparison too far might be to miscalculate the great many unique aspect that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to pick the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is granted an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as 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 each of your picked numbers with a good oldpen like you had back in school.

Once you have marked your numbers, take your keno card back to the girl at the keno stand. The clerk will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning slip on you, you will win exactly $.00 for your winning card.

OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us move to something a little bit more complicated, ok?

Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, settle into a nice keno booth and watch the action take place on the keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers show up for all to see. If you have winners, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get up to the keno booth to get your winnings, since a new drawing will surely start within five minutes.

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

Assuming you don’t trust yourself to make that five-minute margin every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the maximum amount of games (the same as the amount of tickets) is played out, you should then get off your lazy butt and go get your winnings.

Another option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which generally lets you make number selection for thirty rounds or more. Hell, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to fret 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 are aware of several necessary schemes for winning keno. If you are an adept gambler, they might appear to be very obvious. Still, it will not hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a beginner gambler, every bit of information will help make your keno gambling more entertaining.
