It may not often be thought of as the best game in the universe of gaming, but keno has millions of zealous supporters. And it should! It’s a regularly entertaining lottery-type game that’s easy to master, abundantly available in many alternate formats, and one that can return mega-dollars for those who learn its innumerable subtle nuances. But let’s start with the basic facts here.

When defining keno to newcomers, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to lotto. This is at least partially correct, in that each game is essentially numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far would be to undervalue the innumerable unique characteristics that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the power to choose the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the user is granted an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. 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 all of your handpicked numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you used back in school.

Once you have marked your numbers, take your card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The nice person will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will be given precisely $.00 for your actions.

And there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let’s get on to something a little bit more advanced, what do you think?

After you’ve picked out your numbers, get into a comfy keno booth and see the action take place on a video monitor. This is where the winning numbers show up for us. If you have winners, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to take your time, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get up to the keno booth to get your winnings, and then a new round of keno will likely get going within not too many minutes.

Strategy #2: always go back to the keno booth on time!

Since you do not trust yourself to beat that five-minute margin every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the maximum number of rounds (fitting the amount of tickets) is played out, you should then get off your numb bum and go collect your winnings.

Yet another alternative is recognized as a "stray and play" keno card, which commonly lets you make number selection for 30 keno rounds or more. Hell, you can take vacation to France and not have to worry about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!

So now you know several essential techniques for winning keno. If you are an advanced user, they might seem stupidly obvious. However, it won’t hurt to bone up on the basic methods, and if you are a new gambler, every bit of direction will help make your keno wagering more entertaining.
