But let’s deal with the basic rules here.

When describing keno to novices, some betting masters compare it to bingo. This is at least in some measure apt, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far would be to misunderstand the great many unique traits that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the power to select the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is granted an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to select 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 selected numbers with a good oldball point pen like you had when you were in school.

After you’ve selected your numbers, take the game card back to the girl at the keno booth. The person will record your numbers and then give you a receipt.

Since you can’t trust yourself to beat that five-minute margin each time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the max amount of games (matching the amount of tickets) is finished, you are then able to get off your numb rump and go retrieve your winnings.

Another opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally lets you make number selection for thirty games or more. Golly, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to worry about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

So now you know a couple of indispensable methods for winning keno. If you are a good user, they may seem quite obvious. However, it will not hurt to study up on the basic methods, and if you are a newbie user, every bit of information will help make your keno betting more exciting.
