It may not generally be seen as the sexiest game in the arena of wagering, but keno has tons of keen followers. As well it should! It’s a always entertaining lottery-type game that’s a snap to pickup, abundantly available in many assorted variations, and one that may return mega-dollars for gamblers who learn its heaps of subtle rules. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules here.

When describing keno to novices, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to lotto. This is at least to a certain extent correct, in that each game is basically numerical. But to take that comparison too far can be to devalue the many unique traits that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno users have the ability to select the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 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 feels they need. 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 each of your desired numbers with a standardmarker like you had when you were in grade 3.

Once you’ve selected your numbers, carry your keno card back to the keno pit manager at the keno stand. The girl will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not lose this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning ticket with you, you will get precisely $.00 for your winning card.

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

Once you’ve selected your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action take place on the screen. That is where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you checked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to dally, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You need to get up to the keno booth to collect your winnings, as a new keno game will surely start up within not too many minutes.

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

Assuming you do not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 tickets. When the maximum amount of rounds (matching the number of tickets) is played out, you may then get off your numb bum and go redeem your winnings.

Yet another alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally allows you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Hell, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to worry about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

And now you have learned a couple needed schemes for winning keno. If you are an experienced player, they might seem to be incredibly obvious. However, it won’t hurt to study up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner gambler, every little bit of advice will help make your keno games more enjoyable.
