Keno Strategies That Will Help You Win
It might not generally be deemed the most lucrative game in the realm of wagering, but keno has millions and millions of fanatical players. And it ought to! It’s a constantly thrilling lottery-ish game that’s simple to learn, abundantly available in lots of assorted variations, and one that might yield mega-dollars for people who master its uncounted subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules for now.
When defining keno to beginners, some betting masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least to a certain degree apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. But to take that comparison too far will be to belittle the good many unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the ability to pick the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the user is granted an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to determine as numerous (or as few) numbers as he desires. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your chosen numbers with a standardmarker like you had when you were in third grade.
Now that you have picked your numbers, take the keno card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The clerk will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning slip with you, you will be given precisely $.00 for your winning card.
Now there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let us go on to something a little more useful, yes?
After you’ve picked your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action take place on a big video monitor. That is where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you checked winners, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to dilly dally, 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, since a new drawing will certainly get going within a few minutes.
Strategy number two: always go back to the keno booth on time!
Since you don’t trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 slips. When the max amount of keno games (the same as the number of tickets) is completed, you will then be able to get off your lazy rump and go redeem your winnings.
Another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which usually lets you make number picks for thirty keno rounds or more. Hell, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to fret about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after purchase!
And now you are aware of a few required schemes for winning keno. If you are a discerning player, they may seem stupidly obvious. But it doesn’t hurt to bone up on the basic tactics, and if you are a newbie user, every little bit of information will help make your keno games more entertaining.
