It might not ordinarily be looked at as the best game in the world of gambling, but keno has tons of zealous supporters. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a regularly exciting lottery-esque game that’s uncomplicated to play, abundantly available in a number of alternate styles, and one that may pay out mega-dollars for gamblers who learn its heaps of subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basic rules here.

When describing keno to newcomers, some wagering masters compare it to lotto. This is at least in some ways correct, in that each game is basically numerical. However, to take that comparison too far might be to undervalue the good many unique characteristics that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno users have the ability to select the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is granted an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he needs. 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 of your handpicked numbers with a normal#2 pencil like you had back in the day.

Now that you’ve checked your numbers, take your card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record those 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 mug and would like to help out, without a winning ticket in hand, you will get precisely $.00 for your time spent.

And there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let us get on to something a little more useful, what do you think?

Now that you’ve marked your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and see the action take place on a big video monitor. That is where the winning numbers appear for us. If you marked winners, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to drag your feet, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You need to get up to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, since a new drawing will certainly start up within not too many minutes.

Strategy number 2: always make it back to the keno booth on time!

Since you don’t trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty slips. When the maximum number of games (the same as the number of tickets) is played, you should then get off your lazy back side and go retrieve your winnings.

Another opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which normally allows you make number picks for 30 games or more. Heck, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to fret about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

So now you have learned a couple of essential schemes for winning keno. If you are an advanced user, they might appear to be stupidly obvious. Still, it will never hurt to bone up on the basic methods, and if you are a novice player, every bit of information will help make your keno betting more captivating.
