It will not usually be thought of as the sexiest game in the arena of wagering, but keno has millions and millions of passionate supporters. As well it should! It’s a regularly entertaining lotto-esque game that’s simple to learn, abundantly available in lots of different styles, and one that may yield millions for people who master its numerous subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basic rules here.

When defining keno to novices, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least in part correct, in that both games are basically numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far is likely to be to undervalue the endless unique characteristics that make keno so compelling. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the freedom to select the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is granted an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as many (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a super genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your desired numbers with a ordinarymarker like you had when you were in third grade.

After you’ve picked your numbers, carry the game card back to the person at the keno booth. The person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will win exactly $.00 for your actions.

Ok, there you have strategy #1: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s advance to something a little bit more advanced, yes?

Now that you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and see the action unfold on the screen. This is where the winning numbers are shown for all to see. If you’ve got winners, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You are required to get back to the keno stand to get your winnings, since a new keno game will probably start up within not too many minutes.

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

Assuming you can not trust yourself to make that 5 minute margin each time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from two to 20 slips. When the max number of rounds (matching the amount of tickets) is played out, you can then get off your numb bum and go get your winnings.

Another alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally lets you make number choices for thirty games or more. Golly, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

So now you are aware of a number of needed techniques for winning keno. If you are an adept gambler, they might seem stupidly obvious. However, it will never hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner player, every little bit of information will help make your keno betting more entertaining.
