It will not commonly be deemed the funnest game in the realm of wagering, but keno has millions and millions of dedicated supporters. And why not? It’s a consistently thrilling lotto-type game that’s a snap to pickup, abundantly available in many different styles, and one that might pay out millions for those who learn its limitless subtle rules. But let’s start with the basic rules for now.

When defining keno to newbies, some gambling masters compare it to bingo. This is at least nearly correct, in that both games are essentially numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far is likely to be to minimize the countless unique traits that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the freedom to select the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is given an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as many (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a genius to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your picked numbers with a normalmarker like you used when you were in third grade.

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, take your card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The girl will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning slip with you, you will be given precisely $.00 for your efforts.

OK, so there you have strategy number one: always make sure to keep your keno receipt. Let us go on to something a little more complex, ok?

Once you’ve selected your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and watch the action happen on the monitor. This is where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you have winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to drag your feet, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get up to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, as a new round of keno will surely begin within 5 minutes.

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

Assuming you can not trust yourself to make that five-minute deadline each time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the maximum number of games (fitting the number of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your numb back side and go retrieve your winnings.

Another option is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which usually lets you make number choices for thirty rounds or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to France and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

So now you have learned a handful of needed strategies for winning keno. If you are an adept player, they may seem to be incredibly obvious. Still, it will not hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a beginner user, every little bit of direction will help make your keno playing more enjoyable.
