It might not commonly be considered the most fun game in the world of betting, but keno has huge amounts of steadfast players. And it ought to! It’s a consistently thrilling lottery-ish game that’s a breeze to pickup, abundantly available in several assorted styles, and one that might pay out millions for players who master its countless subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basics here.

When defining keno to novices, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least partially correct, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far might be to detract from the innumerable unique aspect that make keno so entertaining. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the power to select the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is given an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as she desires. And it doesn’t take a genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a ordinary#2 pencil like you had when you were in school.

After you’ve selected your numbers, take your keno card back to the girl at the keno stand. The clerk will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning receipt with you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your winning card.

OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s go on to something a bit more advanced, shall we?

Once you’ve selected your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and watch the action unfold on the big keno monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you picked winners, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to drag your feet, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get back to the keno booth to collect your winnings, as a new keno game will certainly get going within 5 minutes.

Strategy #2: always be sure to get back to the keno stand on time!

Since you can not trust yourself to make that 5 minute deadline every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the max amount of keno games (the same as the number of tickets) is played out, you may then get off your numb bum and go retrieve your winnings.

Yet an additional alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally allows you make number choices for thirty keno games or more. Golly, you can take all the time in the world 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 you purchase it!

And now you are aware of a handful of indispensable methods for winning keno. If you are a good keno player, they might appear to be stupidly obvious. However, it won’t hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a novice keno player, every little bit of direction will help make your keno wagering more captivating.
