It will not usually be seen as the best game in the universe of gambling, but keno has millions of dedicated admirers. And it ought to! It’s a routinely entertaining lottery-like game that’s easy to master, readily available in several assorted styles, and one that will yield mega-dollars for people who master its uncounted subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basic facts for now.

When describing keno to newcomers, some betting masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least partially correct, in that each game is generally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far would be to belittle the endless unique characteristics that make keno so compelling. Not like bingo, keno players have the ability to select the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is given an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she needs. And it doesn’t take a super genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your picked numbers with a good oldpen like you had back in the day.

Now that you’ve marked your numbers, take your card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The girl will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not lose this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your loud shirt and wants help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will collect precisely $.00 for your winning card.

OK, so there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s get on to something a little bit more advanced, ok?

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and observe the action happen on a monitor. This is where the winning numbers are shown in lights. If you have winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to dilly dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get up to the keno stand to get your winnings, and a new round of keno will likely start up within not too many minutes.

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

Assuming you do not trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty slips. When the maximum amount of rounds (fitting the amount of tickets) is finished, you are then able to get off your numb bum and go redeem your winnings.

Yet an additional option is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which usually allows you make number picks for 30 keno games or more. Heck, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you have learned a couple required strategies for winning keno. If you are an experienced keno player, they may seem stupidly obvious. Still, it will not hurt to study up on the basic techniques, and if you are a newbie player, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno playing more captivating.
