It’s a always thrilling lottery-type game that’s easy to play, readily available in many different variations, and one that might yield mega-dollars for gamblers who master its numerous subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the basics here.

When describing keno to newbies, some betting masters compare it to lotto. This is at least in part apt, in that each game is essentially numerical. But to take that comparison too far is likely to be to misunderstand the innumerable unique aspect that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno users have the power to select the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is accord an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she desires. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your handpicked numbers with a ordinary#2 pencil like you used when you were in school.

Now that you’ve checked your numbers, take the card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The nice person will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your winning card.

Ok, there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let us advance to something a little bit more complicated, yes?

Now that you’ve selected your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and see the action unfold on a monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you’ve got winners, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to move to slowly, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get up to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, as a new drawing will likely begin within 5 minutes.

Strategy #2: always go back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you can’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty tickets. When the maximum amount of keno games (matching the amount of tickets) is finished, you should then get off your numb rump and go retrieve your winnings.

Yet another option is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally lets you make number choices for 30 keno games or more. Gosh, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to fret about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

So now you are aware of a couple necessary strategies for winning keno. If you are an accomplished user, they may appear to be quite obvious. However, it will not hurt to bone up on the basic methods, and if you are a new gambler, every little bit of direction will help make your keno betting more entertaining.
