It will not ordinarily be seen as the most fun game in the field of wagering, but keno has millions of passionate supporters. And it should! It’s a routinely exciting lotto-ish game that’s simple to play, readily available in a number of different variations, and one that might pay out millions for people who learn its heaps of subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basic facts here.

When explaining keno to beginners, some wagering connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least nearly apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far would be to misunderstand the innumerable unique traits that make keno so entertaining. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the ability to select the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is granted an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to choose as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she desires. And it doesn’t take a genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a every day oldpen like you used when you were in third grade.

After you have checked your numbers, take your game card back to the girl at the keno booth. The person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning ticket with you, you will win exactly $.00 for your efforts.

OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let’s get on to something a bit more advanced, shall we?

After you’ve picked out your numbers, get into a comfy keno booth and observe the action take place on a video monitor. This is where the winning numbers are shown in lights. If you checked winners, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to take too much time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get up to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, since a new drawing will likely begin within 5 minutes.

Strategy number two: always be sure to get back to the keno stand on time!

Since you can’t trust yourself to make that five-minute margin each time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 tickets. When the max number of games (matching the number of tickets) is completed, you should then get off your lazy bum and go collect your winnings.

Another choice is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly lets you make number selection for 30 keno rounds or more. Heck, you can take a world tour and not have to fret about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

So now you are aware of a few essential techniques for winning keno. If you are a good user, they may seem incredibly obvious. Still, it does not hurt to brush up on the basic techniques, and if you are a beginner user, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno wagering more entertaining.
