It will not commonly be deemed the most fun game in the field of gambling, but keno has tons of passionate followers. As well it should! It’s a regularly entertaining lottery-esque game that’s a snap to master, readily available in several assorted variations, and one that can pay out millions for people who master its many subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basics here.

When explaining keno to amateurs, some gambling pros compare it to the lottery. This is at least to a certain extent correct, in that both games are generally numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far can be to devalue the good many unique traits that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the freedom to choose the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is given an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as he desires. And it doesn’t take a genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a ordinarypen like you used when you were in grade 3.

Now that you have marked your numbers, take the keno card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The clerk will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning slip with you, you will get precisely $.00 for your actions.

Ok, there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let us move to something a bit more advanced, what do you think?

Once you’ve picked your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and watch the action take place on a big video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you picked winners, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get up to the keno stand to get your winnings, since a new drawing will probably start up within not too many minutes.

Strategy number two: always go back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you do not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin each time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the max amount of games (fitting the number of tickets) is played out, you can then get off your numb bum and go retrieve your winnings.

Yet an additional choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which generally allows you make number picks for thirty games or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to worry about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!

And now you are aware of a couple necessary techniques for winning keno. If you are a skillful player, they may appear to be very obvious. Still, it does not hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a newbie keno player, every little bit of direction will help make your keno betting more exciting.
