Not like bingo, keno players have the freedom to pick the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is accord an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. 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 handpicked numbers with a ordinary#2 pencil like you had when you were in third grade.

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, take the game card back to the girl at the keno booth. The clerk will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your loud shirt and wants help out, without a winning slip with you, you will win precisely $.00 for your time spent.

OK, so there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let us advance to something a bit more complex, ok?

Once you’ve selected your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action happen on the screen. This is where the winning numbers show up for all to see. If you checked winners, 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 booth to collect your winnings, and a new keno game will certainly begin within five minutes.

These include the same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 slips. When the max number of rounds (fitting the number of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your lazy back side and go retrieve your winnings.

Another opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which usually allows you make number picks for thirty rounds or more. Heck, you can take vacation to France and not have to worry about getting back in time to retrieve your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you are aware of a couple essential strategies for winning keno. If you are a skillful player, they may seem incredibly obvious. Still, it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a novice user, every bit of direction will help make your keno wagering more entertaining.
