It might not ordinarily be looked at as the most lucrative game in the arena of gaming, but keno has millions of dedicated followers. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a constantly entertaining lotto-style game that’s uncomplicated to master, readily available in lots of assorted variations, and one that will yield mega-dollars for people who master its many subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basics here.

When describing keno to newcomers, some wagering connoisseurs compare it to the lottery. This is at least to a certain extent apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far might be to undervalue the many unique aspect that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno users have the ability to select the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is accord an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he desires. And it doesn’t take a super genius to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a standardball point pen like you had back in the day.

Once you’ve picked your numbers, carry your game card back to the person at the keno stand. The girl will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will get exactly $.00 for your time spent.

Ok, there you have strategy #1: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let’s move on to something a little more advanced, yes?

Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action take place on the screen. That’s where the winning numbers show up for all to see. If you have winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to dilly dally, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, as a new round of keno will most likely begin within a few minutes.

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

Assuming you can not trust yourself to meet that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the max number of rounds (matching the number of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your numb back side and go redeem your winnings.

Another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which usually lets you make number choices for thirty keno rounds or more. Golly, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

So now you have learned a number of needed strategies for winning keno. If you are a discerning gambler, they might seem to be quite obvious. Still, it will never hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner gambler, every bit of direction will help make your keno experience more captivating.
