It won’t generally be deemed the funnest game in the field of wagering, but keno has loads of steadfast enthusiasts. And why not? It’s a consistently exciting lotto-esque game that’s easy to master, readily available in tons of assorted styles, and one that can return mega-dollars for players who learn its innumerable subtle rules. But let’s deal with the basic facts here.

When describing keno to amateurs, some betting experts compare it to lotto. This is at least in part apt, in that both games are essentially numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far will be to miscalculate the good many unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Not like bingo, keno players have the power to select the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he desires. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your handpicked numbers with a standard#2 pencil like you used when you were in grade 3.

After you’ve checked your numbers, take the game card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The girl will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your efforts.

Now there you have strategy number one: always make sure to keep your keno receipt. Let’s advance to something a tiny bit more advanced, yes?

After you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and watch the action take place on a video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you selected winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get up to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, since a new round of keno will most likely begin within five minutes.

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

Since you can’t trust yourself to meet that five-minute margin every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the max number of keno games (fitting the number of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your numb rump and go collect your winnings.

Another alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally lets you make number picks for thirty rounds or more. Heck, you can take vacation to France and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to retrieve your numbers. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

So now you are aware of a handful of required schemes for winning keno. If you are an advanced keno player, they might seem to be quite obvious. Still, it will never hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice user, every little bit of advice will help make your keno experience more enjoyable.
