It won’t generally be deemed the most lucrative game in the arena of gambling, but keno has millions and millions of keen fans. And so it should! It’s a always thrilling lotto-esque game that’s simple to learn, readily available in tons of different formats, and one that may pay out millions for gamblers who learn its innumerable subtle nuances. But let’s start with the beginner’s rules here.

When explaining keno to novices, some betting experts compare it to the lottery. This is at least to a certain degree correct, in that each game is essentially numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far will be to discount the endless unique aspect that make keno so exciting. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the freedom to pick the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the user is furnished with an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as she desires. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your selected numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you used when you were a kid.

Once you’ve selected your numbers, carry your card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The clerk will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning slip on you, you will be given precisely $.00 for your winning card.

Ok, there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let us go on to something a little more advanced, yes?

Once you’ve marked your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and see the action happen on a big video monitor. That is where the winning numbers appear for all to see. If you have winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to move to slowly, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You must get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, since a new keno game will probably begin within five minutes.

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

Since you don’t trust yourself to beat that five-minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the max number of rounds (fitting the amount of tickets) is played out, you may then get off your lazy rump and go redeem your winnings.

Still another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which commonly allows you make number picks for 30 keno rounds or more. Gosh, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to fret about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!

So now you know a handful of essential strategies for winning keno. If you are a discerning gambler, they may seem to be incredibly obvious. Still, it will not hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a beginner keno player, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno games more captivating.
