It won’t often be considered the funnest game in the realm of gambling, but keno has huge amounts of devoted fans. And it should! It’s a constantly exciting lottery-type game that’s uncomplicated to pickup, abundantly available in loads of different formats, and one that may return millions for those who master its countless subtle rules. But let’s begin with the basic rules for now.

When defining keno to amateurs, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least tolerably apt, in that each game is basically numerical. But to carry that comparison too far will be to minimize the endless unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno users have the freedom to choose the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the player is furnished with an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as she desires. And it doesn’t take a genius to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a good oldmarker like you had back in the day.

After you have selected your numbers, take the game card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The clerk will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your loud shirt and wants help out, without a winning slip on you, you will get exactly $.00 for your winning card.

OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let’s move to something a bit more complicated, what do you think?

Once you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and see the action unfold on the screen. That is where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you have winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, as a new keno game will probably begin within not too many minutes.

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

Since you can’t trust yourself to beat that five-minute margin each time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the maximum number of rounds (the same as the number of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your lazy rump and go collect your winnings.

Yet an additional opportunity is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally allows you make number choices for thirty keno games or more. Heck, you can take a world tour and not have to fret about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

So now you know a couple needed strategies for winning keno. If you are a skillful player, they might seem to be very obvious. However, it will not hurt to bone up on the basic methods, and if you are a newbie user, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno gambling more enjoyable.
