It might not usually be deemed the sexiest game in the arena of wagering, but keno has huge amounts of dedicated players. As well it should! It’s a consistently exciting lotto-type game that’s easy to pickup, readily available in lots of different formats, and one that will yield mega-dollars for those who master its many subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the beginner’s rules here.

When explaining keno to beginners, some gambling connoisseurs compare it to lotto. This is at least to a certain degree correct, in that each game is basically numerical. But to carry that comparison too far will be to discount the many unique aspect that make keno so entertaining. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to pick the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is accord an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as he desires. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a normalmarker like you had when you were in school.

Now that you’ve checked your numbers, carry the card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and wants help out, without a winning ticket with you, you will get precisely $.00 for your winning card.

OK, so there you have strategy number one: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s go on to something a little bit more complicated, shall we?

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and observe the action unfold on a big video monitor. That is where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, since a new round of keno will most likely start within a few minutes.

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

Assuming you can not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to twenty tickets. When the max number of games (the same as the amount of tickets) is completed, you can then get off your lazy back side and go get your winnings.

Yet an additional opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which usually allows you make number choices for 30 games or more. Hell, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to worry about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!

And now you have learned a couple of required techniques for winning keno. If you are an experienced player, they might appear to be quite obvious. But it will never hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner player, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno gambling more exciting.
