It may not often be thought of as the funnest game in the world of gambling, but keno has millions and millions of steadfast enthusiasts. And why not? It’s a routinely entertaining lotto-esque game that’s simple to master, readily available in lots of different styles, and one that may return millions for people who learn its uncounted subtle rules. But let’s start with the basic rules here.

When describing keno to amateurs, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least in part correct, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far would be to underrate the many unique traits that make keno so compelling. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the power to pick the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the user is furnished with an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to pick as many (or as few) numbers as she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your desired numbers with a every day old#2 pencil like you used when you were in school.

After you’ve picked your numbers, take the card back to the girl at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers you and wants help out, without a winning receipt with you, you will collect precisely $.00 for your time spent.

Now there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let us advance to something a bit more complex, yes?

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and observe the action take place on a monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you selected winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to dally, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You must get back to the keno stand to collect your winnings, as a new round of keno will surely get going within five minutes.

Strategy number 2: always go back to the keno stand on time!

Since you can not trust yourself to meet that five-minute margin every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from two to twenty cards. When the max amount of keno games (fitting the amount of tickets) is completed, you will then be able to get off your lazy back side and go redeem your winnings.

Yet an additional alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly allows you make number selection for thirty games or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to France and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

And now you have learned several essential methods for winning keno. If you are a discerning player, they may seem very obvious. Still, it doesn’t hurt to study up on the basic methods, and if you are a newbie player, every bit of information will help make your keno wagering more enjoyable.
