It won’t often be thought of as the best game in the field of wagering, but keno has tons of passionate supporters. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a consistently exciting lotto-style game that’s easy to master, abundantly available in lots of different formats, and one that will pay out millions for those who master its limitless subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basic rules here.

When explaining keno to amateurs, some wagering masters compare it to bingo. This is at least tolerably correct, in that each game is generally numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far is likely to be to detract from the good many unique traits that make keno so entertaining. Not like bingo, keno users have the ability to select the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is accord an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as many (or as few) numbers as he or she needs. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your chosen numbers with a ordinaryball point pen like you used when you were in grade 3.

Now that you’ve selected your numbers, take the game card back to the person at the keno booth. The clerk will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will get exactly $.00 for your time spent.

Now there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s advance to something a little more complicated, ok?

After you’ve marked your numbers, settle into a nice keno booth and watch the action happen on the video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you picked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get up to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, as a new drawing will certainly begin within not too many minutes.

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

Since you do not trust yourself to make that five-minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to twenty slips. When the maximum amount of games (matching the amount of tickets) is completed, you may then get off your numb bum and go redeem your winnings.

Yet another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally allows you make number selection for 30 keno rounds or more. Gosh, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to fret about getting back in time to retrieve your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

So now you are aware of a handful of essential schemes for winning keno. If you are an advanced player, they might seem to be very obvious. However, it does not hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a beginner user, every bit of information will help make your keno betting more fun.
