Keno Schemes That Win

It won’t ordinarily be seen as the most fun game in the world of wagering, but keno has loads of dedicated enthusiasts. And why not? It’s a constantly entertaining lottery-style game that’s easy to learn, abundantly available in tons of different formats, and one that might yield millions of dollars for those who learn its limitless subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basics for now.

When explaining keno to amateurs, some wagering masters compare it to bingo. This is at least to some extent correct, in that both games are basically numerical. But to carry that comparison too far would be to minimize the many unique traits that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the power to select the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is given an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as many (or as few) numbers as she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your chosen numbers with a standardpen like you used when you were in school.

After you’ve checked your numbers, carry the card back to the girl at the keno booth. The nice person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your efforts.

Now there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let us get on to something a tiny bit more complicated, shall we?

After you’ve picked your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action unfold on the monitor. This is where the winning numbers are shown for all to see. If you checked winners, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to 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, and then a new keno game will certainly start up within 5 minutes.

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

Assuming you do not trust yourself to beat that five-minute margin each time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the maximum amount of rounds (matching the number of tickets) is completed, you will then be able to get off your lazy bum and go redeem your winnings.

Another choice is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which generally allows you make number picks for thirty keno rounds or more. Hell, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

So now you know a handful of essential techniques for winning keno. If you are an experienced player, they might seem to be stupidly obvious. But it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice player, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno playing time more enjoyable.
