It will not generally be thought of as the best game in the universe of wagering, but keno has millions and millions of fanatical fans. And it should! It’s a always exciting lottery-like game that’s a snap to play, readily available in loads of alternate variations, and one that might yield millions for gamblers who learn its innumerable subtle nuances. But let’s start with the basic rules for now.

When defining keno to newbies, some wagering connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least in part correct, in that each game is essentially numerical. But to carry that comparison too far will be to downplay the good many unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Not like bingo, keno users have the power to select the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is given an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as she needs. And it doesn’t take a genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your handpicked numbers with a normalpen like you had when you were in grade 3.

Once you have marked your numbers, take your card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning ticket with you, you will get exactly $.00 for your actions.

Ok, there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let us move to something a little bit more useful, yes?

Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and observe the action happen on the screen. That is where the winning numbers appear for us. If you checked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to dally, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You want to get back to the keno stand to get your winnings, and a new keno game will most likely start up within a few minutes.

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

Since you can not trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the max number of rounds (the same as the amount of tickets) is played, you are then able to get off your lazy rump and go retrieve your winnings.

Still another option is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally allows you make number selection for thirty games or more. Golly, you can take a world tour and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you are aware of a couple needed techniques for winning keno. If you are an experienced gambler, they may seem incredibly obvious. But it won’t hurt to bone up on the basic practices, and if you are a new player, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno experience more fun.
