It won’t ordinarily be considered the most lucrative game in the realm of wagering, but keno has loads of fanatical admirers. And why not? It’s a regularly entertaining lotto-style game that’s simple to learn, readily available in many assorted formats, and one that can pay out mega-dollars for people who learn its limitless subtle rules. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules here.

When describing keno to beginners, some betting connoisseurs compare it to the lottery. This is at least in part correct, in that both games are generally numerical. However, to take that comparison too far will be to detract from the countless unique characteristics that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno users have the ability to pick the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the player is granted an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. 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 handpicked numbers with a good oldball point pen like you used when you were a kid.

Once you have marked your numbers, carry your game card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and wants help out, without a winning slip with you, you will win precisely $.00 for your efforts.

Ok, there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us move to something a little bit more complicated, what do you think?

Now that you’ve picked out your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action happen on the monitor. This is where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you marked winners, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You need to get back to the keno stand to collect your winnings, as a new round of keno will almost certainly start up within not too many minutes.

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

Since you do not trust yourself to beat that five-minute margin every time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty slips. When the max number of keno games (fitting the number of tickets) is completed, you should then get off your lazy back side and go get your winnings.

Another opportunity is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally lets you make number choices for 30 keno games or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

And now you know a number of required schemes for winning keno. If you are a discerning user, they might seem to be stupidly obvious. Still, it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice user, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno playing more exciting.
