It will not generally be deemed the funnest game in the world of betting, but keno has loads of fanatical supporters. And why not?

But let’s start with the basic facts here.

When describing keno to newcomers, some gaming experts compare it to lotto. This is at least nearly apt, in that each game is basically numerical. However, to take that comparison too far is likely to be to devalue the good many unique aspect that make keno so compelling. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the ability to choose the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the player is accord an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a good old#2 pencil like you used back in the day.

After you have checked your numbers, take your card back to the person at the keno stand. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your loud shirt and would like to help out, without a winning ticket in hand, you will collect precisely $.00 for your efforts.

Ok, there you have strategy #1: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s get on to something a little more complicated, ok?

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, settle into a nice keno booth and watch the action happen on the keno monitor. That is where the winning numbers appear for us. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to dally, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, since a new keno game will most likely start within a few minutes.

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

Since you can’t trust yourself to beat 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 desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the maximum number of keno games (matching the number of tickets) is completed, you are then able to get off your numb back side and go retrieve your winnings.

Another opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally lets you make number choices for thirty rounds or more. Golly, you can take a world tour and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

So now you are aware of a couple of indispensable techniques for winning keno. If you are a good gambler, they might appear to be very obvious. Still, it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a new user, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno playing more entertaining.
