It won’t usually be seen as the most lucrative game in the realm of gambling, but keno has millions of passionate fans. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a always exciting lotto-like game that’s easy to master, abundantly available in several alternate variations, and one that will return millions of dollars for players who learn its uncounted subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basic rules here.

When defining keno to amateurs, some wagering connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least nearly apt, in that both games are basically numerical. But to take that comparison too far would be to downplay the countless unique traits that make keno so compelling. Not like bingo, keno players have the freedom to select the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he or she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your picked numbers with a good old#2 pencil like you had when you were in grade 3.

After you have marked your numbers, carry your game card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The clerk will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning slip on you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your efforts.

Now there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s move on to something a little more advanced, ok?

Once you’ve picked out your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action take place on a monitor. This is where the winning numbers are shown in lights. If you checked winners, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to take too much time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get back to the keno stand to collect your winnings, since a new keno game will likely get going within five minutes.

Strategy number 2: always get back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you can not trust yourself to make that five-minute deadline each time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty tickets. When the max amount of keno games (fitting the amount of tickets) is played out, you will then be able to get off your lazy butt and go collect your winnings.

Yet an additional opportunity is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally allows you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Hell, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to fret about getting back in time to retrieve your numbers. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

So now you are aware of a number of necessary schemes for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable gambler, they might seem to be quite obvious. But it does not hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a newbie player, every bit of direction will help make your keno gambling more enjoyable.
