It will not ordinarily be deemed the funnest game in the world of betting, but keno has millions and millions of devoted enthusiasts. And it ought to! It’s a routinely exciting lottery-ish game that’s easy to master, readily available in several different styles, and one that might yield mega-dollars for gamblers who master its endless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basics here.

When explaining keno to beginners, some wagering masters compare it to bingo. This is at least tolerably apt, in that both games are basically numerical. However, to take that comparison too far will be to devalue the great many unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the power to choose the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the user is given an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your picked numbers with a normal#2 pencil like you had when you were a kid.

Now that you’ve checked your numbers, carry your game card back to the person at the keno stand. The nice person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning slip with you, you will get exactly $.00 for your actions.

So, there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let us move on to something a little more complicated, yes?

Now that you’ve picked out your numbers, settle into a nice keno booth and observe the action happen on a big video monitor. That is where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you have winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to take too much time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get up to the keno booth to collect your winnings, and then a new drawing will probably start up within a few minutes.

Strategy number 2: always get back to the keno stand on time!

Since you do not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty tickets. When the max amount of games (the same as the amount of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your numb rump and go redeem your winnings.

Another alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which usually lets you make number selection for 30 games or more. Hell, you can take all the time in the world and not have to fret about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you have learned a handful of required strategies for winning keno. If you are a good player, they may appear to be very obvious. Still, it won’t hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner user, every bit of direction will help make your keno wagering more fun.
