However, to carry that comparison too far will be to detract from the great many unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Not like bingo, keno users have the freedom to choose the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is accord an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your picked numbers with a ordinaryball point pen like you had when you were in grade 3.

Now that you have checked your numbers, take the game card back to the person at the keno stand. The person will record your numbers and then give you a receipt.

Assuming you do not trust yourself to make that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the maximum number of rounds (matching the number of tickets) is played out, you will then be able to get off your lazy butt and go retrieve your winnings.

Golly, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!
