It may not ordinarily be considered the sexiest game in the field of wagering, but keno has huge amounts of fanatical players. And it should! It’s a constantly entertaining lotto-like game that’s easy to play, readily available in tons of assorted styles, and one that can pay out mega-dollars for people who learn its limitless subtle rules. But let’s start with the beginner’s rules for now.

When explaining keno to novices, some wagering connoisseurs compare it to the lottery. This is at least to a certain degree apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far might be to belittle the good many unique traits that make keno so compelling. Not like bingo, keno users have the power to choose the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is granted an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as he or she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your desired numbers with a ordinarymarker like you used when you were in grade 3.

Once you’ve checked your numbers, carry the keno card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The nice person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will collect exactly $.00 for your actions.

Ok, there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us move to something a little more advanced, yes?

Once you’ve selected your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and see the action happen on the monitor. That is where the winning numbers are shown in lights. If you marked winners, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to drag your feet, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get up to the keno stand to get your winnings, as a new round of keno will surely begin within five minutes.

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

Since you don’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from two to twenty slips. When the max number of rounds (matching the number of tickets) is completed, you are then able to get off your numb bum and go get your winnings.

Another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally lets you make number choices for thirty games or more. Hell, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you have learned a number of required strategies for winning keno. If you are an experienced user, they may appear to be quite obvious. But it does not hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a novice keno player, every bit of information will help make your keno playing time more agreeable.
