It may not often be thought of as the most lucrative game in the universe of betting, but keno has huge amounts of keen fans. And it ought to! It’s a consistently exciting lottery-esque game that’s easy to play, abundantly available in tons of different formats, and one that will pay out millions of dollars for people who learn its uncounted subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basic rules here.

When explaining keno to amateurs, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to lotto. This is at least partially apt, in that each game is essentially numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far will be to detract from the good many unique characteristics that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to pick the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the user is furnished with an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as numerous (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you used back in the day.

Now that you have picked your numbers, take your game card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The person will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning slip with you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your actions.

So, there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us advance to something a tiny bit more complicated, yes?

Once you’ve picked your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action happen on the keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you have 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 need to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, and a new round of keno will most likely begin within a few minutes.

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

Since you can’t trust yourself to meet that 5 minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the maximum number of rounds (matching the number of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your numb bum and go retrieve your winnings.

Still another option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly lets you make number choices for thirty keno games or more. Hell, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

So now you have learned a couple of needed schemes for winning keno. If you are an advanced keno player, they may appear to be stupidly obvious. Still, it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the basic techniques, and if you are a newbie gambler, every little bit of advice will help make your keno games more exciting.
