It will not generally be considered the sexiest game in the arena of betting, but keno has tons of passionate players. And why not? It’s a always entertaining lotto-esque game that’s simple to learn, readily available in a number of assorted variations, and one that might yield mega-dollars for those who master its countless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basic facts for now.

When describing keno to amateurs, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least in part correct, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far will be to minimize the countless unique traits that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the ability to select the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he desires. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you used when you were a kid.

Once you have checked your numbers, carry your keno card back to the nice person at the keno stand. The person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will be given precisely $.00 for your actions.

Now there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno slip. Let us move on to something a bit more complicated, yes?

After you’ve selected your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and observe the action take place on a video monitor. This is where the winning numbers are displayed for us.

You really want to get back to the keno booth to collect your winnings, and a new drawing will most likely start up within not too many minutes.

Strategy number two: always make it back to the keno booth on time!

Since you can’t trust yourself to make that five-minute margin each and every time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from two to twenty cards. When the max number of games (matching the amount of tickets) is finished, you are then able to get off your numb bum and go redeem your winnings.

Yet an additional choice is recognized as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally allows you make number selection for 30 keno rounds or more. Hell, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to retrieve your numbers. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

And now you are aware of a few needed techniques for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable gambler, they might seem quite obvious. Still, it doesn’t hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice gambler, every bit of direction will help make your keno gambling more enjoyable.
