It will not generally be thought of as the most lucrative game in the realm of wagering, but keno has tons of keen supporters. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a consistently thrilling lotto-ish game that’s simple to pickup, abundantly available in loads of different variations, and one that can yield millions of dollars for those who learn its numerous subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basic facts for now.

When explaining keno to beginners, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least in some ways correct, in that both games are generally numerical. But to take that comparison too far will be to detract from the endless unique traits that make keno so exciting. Not like bingo, keno players have the power to pick the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the player is given an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he or she desires. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your selected numbers with a every day oldmarker like you used when you were in school.

Now that you have picked your numbers, carry your game card back to the keno pit manager at the keno stand. The clerk will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will collect precisely $.00 for your efforts.

Ok, there you have strategy #1: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let us get on to something a little bit more useful, yes?

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and see the action take place on the video monitor. That is where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you have winners, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to take too much time, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get up to the keno stand to get your winnings, and a new keno game will most likely begin within not too many minutes.

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

Assuming you can not trust yourself to make that five-minute margin each time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty slips. When the max number of games (the same as the number of tickets) is finished, you should then get off your lazy back side and go retrieve your winnings.

Another option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which commonly lets you make number choices for 30 keno games or more. Golly, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

So now you are aware of a number of necessary methods for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable user, they might seem to be very obvious. But it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice gambler, every bit of direction will help make your keno games more agreeable.
