It will not commonly be deemed the best game in the world of wagering, but keno has millions of fanatical admirers. And so it should! It’s a constantly entertaining lottery-esque game that’s uncomplicated to master, abundantly available in tons of assorted styles, and one that might return mega-dollars for gamblers who master its numerous subtle rules. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules here.

When defining keno to amateurs, some gambling experts compare it to bingo. This is at least in part apt, in that both games are generally numerical. However, to take that comparison too far would be to belittle the great many unique traits that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno players have the freedom to select the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to pick as many (or as few) numbers as he or she needs. And it doesn’t take a genius to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a standardpen like you used when you were in school.

Once you have picked your numbers, carry your game card back to the girl at the keno booth. The girl will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will be given precisely $.00 for your time spent.

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

Once you’ve marked your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and watch the action unfold on the screen. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you picked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, and a new drawing will probably start up within five minutes.

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

Assuming you can not trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the maximum number of keno games (matching the amount of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your numb butt and go redeem your winnings.

Still another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally lets you make number picks for 30 games or more. Heck, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to fret about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

So now you have learned several needed techniques for winning keno. If you are an advanced keno player, they may seem to be quite obvious. But it does not hurt to bone up on the basic tactics, and if you are a novice keno player, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno playing time more fun.
