It will not usually be thought of as the most lucrative game in the field of gaming, but keno has millions and millions of fanatical enthusiasts. And it should! It’s a always entertaining lotto-like game that’s easy to learn, readily available in tons of alternate styles, and one that will return millions for those who master its limitless subtle rules. But let’s deal with the basic facts for now.

When defining keno to beginners, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to lotto. This is at least in part correct, in that both games are basically numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far can be to miscalculate the endless unique characteristics that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno users have the freedom to choose the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is granted an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as she 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 each of your chosen numbers with a good old#2 pencil like you had when you were a kid.

Now that you’ve checked your numbers, carry the keno card back to the nice person at the keno stand. The girl will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will win precisely $.00 for your efforts.

OK, so there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let us advance to something a little more advanced, what do you think?

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action take place on a big video monitor. That is where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get back to the keno booth to collect your winnings, and then a new drawing will surely begin within five minutes.

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

Assuming you can not trust yourself to meet that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the maximum amount of games (fitting the number of tickets) is finished, you may then get off your lazy rump and go collect your winnings.

Still another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally lets you make number choices for thirty keno games or more. Gosh, you can take a world tour and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

So now you have learned several necessary strategies for winning keno. If you are an adept keno player, they may appear to be stupidly obvious. Still, it will never hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a new keno player, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno experience more captivating.
