It might not ordinarily be considered the most lucrative game in the arena of wagering, but keno has massive amounts of dedicated enthusiasts. As well it should! It’s a routinely exciting lottery-like game that’s easy to learn, readily available in a number of assorted styles, and one that may return millions for players who learn its limitless subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basic rules here.

When describing keno to newcomers, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to lotto. This is at least to a certain extent correct, in that each game is basically numerical. But to carry that comparison too far will be to minimize the endless unique traits that make keno so entertaining. Not like bingo, keno players have the freedom to choose the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the player is given an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. And it doesn’t take a super genius to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your desired numbers with a every day oldpen like you had back in the day.

Once you have checked your numbers, take the card back to the girl at the keno booth. The girl will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your loud shirt and would like to help out, without a winning slip with you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your actions.

So, there you have strategy #1: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s move to something a little more complex, yes?

Once you’ve checked off your numbers, get into a comfy keno booth and observe the action take place on the screen. That is where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you have winners, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You need to get up to the keno booth to get your winnings, and then a new drawing will surely begin within 5 minutes.

Strategy number 2: always make sure to get back to the keno booth on time!

Assuming you do not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin each and every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from two to twenty slips. When the max number of rounds (matching the number of tickets) is played out, you can then get off your numb butt and go retrieve your winnings.

Still another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly allows you make number selection for 30 games or more. Heck, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

So now you are aware of a couple of essential schemes for winning keno. If you are a good gambler, they might seem to be quite obvious. Still, it doesn’t hurt to study up on the basic practices, and if you are a new user, every little bit of information will help make your keno games more entertaining.
