Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or 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 handpicked numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you had when you were a kid.

These include the same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to twenty cards. When the maximum amount of games (fitting the number of tickets) is completed, you are then able to get off your lazy rump and go collect your winnings.

Still another option is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which generally lets you make number picks for 30 games or more. Gosh, you can take a world tour and not have to fret about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after purchase!
