It might not often be seen as the most fun game in the arena of gaming, but keno has tons of passionate enthusiasts. And why not? It’s a routinely exciting lottery-ish game that’s a breeze to play, readily available in tons of different formats, and one that will yield millions of dollars for people who learn its many subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the beginner’s rules here.

When explaining keno to newbies, some gaming experts compare it to lotto. This is at least tolerably apt, in that both games are basically numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far might be to think too little of the endless unique traits that make keno so compelling. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to select the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the player is accord an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as numerous (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a genius to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a good oldmarker like you used when you were in third grade.

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, take your keno card back to the keno pit manager at the keno stand. The girl will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning ticket in hand, you will get exactly $.00 for your time spent.

And there you have strategy number one: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s advance to something a bit more complicated, what do you think?

Once you’ve marked your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and see the action unfold on a video monitor. That is where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you picked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to dally, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You must get back to the keno booth to collect your winnings, and a new round of keno will probably begin within not too many minutes.

Strategy #2: always be sure to get back to the keno stand on time!

Since you can not trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from two to 20 slips. When the max number of keno games (the same as the number of tickets) is played, you should then get off your lazy bum and go retrieve your winnings.

Yet another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which usually lets you make number picks for thirty games or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

So now you know several necessary techniques for winning keno. If you are an accomplished player, they might seem incredibly obvious. However, it will never hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a novice user, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno playing more enjoyable.
