It may not generally be seen as the funnest game in the universe of betting, but keno has huge amounts of devoted supporters. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a routinely entertaining lotto-type game that’s uncomplicated to pickup, readily available in several different styles, and one that may return millions for players who learn its heaps of subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the basics for now.

When defining keno to newcomers, some gambling connoisseurs compare it to the lottery. This is at least in some ways correct, in that each game is basically numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far is likely to be to discount the good many unique aspect that make keno so exciting. Not like bingo, keno users have the ability to pick the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is given an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a standardmarker like you used when you were in school.

Now that you have picked your numbers, take the card back to the nice person at the keno stand. The keno pit manager will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will be given precisely $.00 for your efforts.

So, there you have strategy #1: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s move to something a little more complicated, ok?

Once you’ve selected your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and watch the action happen on the screen. That’s where the winning numbers appear for all to see. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You want to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, and a new keno game will likely begin within five minutes.

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

Assuming you do not trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from two to twenty tickets. When the max amount of rounds (the same as the number of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your numb butt and go retrieve your winnings.

Another opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly allows you make number picks for thirty rounds or more. Golly, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

And now you have learned several essential strategies for winning keno. If you are an accomplished user, they may appear to be very obvious. But it does not hurt to study up on the fundamentals, and if you are a newbie user, every bit of direction will help make your keno wagering more enjoyable.
