It may not commonly be seen as the most fun game in the field of gaming, but keno has massive amounts of devout supporters. As well it should! It’s a always exciting lotto-esque game that’s uncomplicated to learn, readily available in many different formats, and one that might pay out mega-dollars for those who master its innumerable subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basic facts for now.

When describing keno to newbies, some wagering experts compare it to the lottery. This is at least in some ways apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. However, to take that comparison too far is likely to be to misunderstand the endless unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno players have the freedom to pick the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the user is granted an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your desired numbers with a every day old#2 pencil like you used when you were in grade 3.

Once you’ve marked your numbers, take your keno card back to the person at the keno booth. The person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning receipt with you, you will be given precisely $.00 for your time spent.

Ok, there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s get on to something a little more complex, what do you think?

Now that you’ve selected your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and see the action unfold on the video monitor. This is where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you selected winners, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to dilly dally, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get up to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, and a new drawing will probably get going within not too many minutes.

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

Assuming you do not trust yourself to make that 5 minute margin every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the maximum number of rounds (matching the amount of tickets) is played, you can then get off your numb back side and go get your winnings.

Yet another opportunity is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which usually lets you make number picks for 30 keno games or more. Hell, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to fret 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 know a couple of indispensable techniques for winning keno. If you are a good keno player, they might seem stupidly obvious. Still, it won’t hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a newbie gambler, every bit of direction will help make your keno games more enjoyable.
