It may not usually be deemed the funnest game in the universe of gaming, but keno has millions of keen admirers. And it should! It’s a always entertaining lottery-ish game that’s simple to pickup, readily available in many different variations, and one that may yield millions for people who master its heaps of subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the basic facts here.

When explaining keno to newcomers, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least in some measure apt, in that each game is generally numerical. However, to take that comparison too far is likely to be to underestimate the innumerable unique characteristics that make keno so compelling. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the power to select the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your chosen numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you had when you were in school.

After you’ve picked your numbers, take your game card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The clerk will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your loud shirt and would like to help out, without a winning receipt with you, you will win exactly $.00 for your time spent.

And there you have strategy number one: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s go on to something a bit more complex, ok?

Once you’ve picked your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and see the action take place on the keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers appear for all to see. If you marked winners, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to dilly dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You need to get up to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, as a new drawing will most likely start within 5 minutes.

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

Assuming you can not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin each time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the maximum number of games (matching the amount of tickets) is completed, you can then get off your numb bum and go get your winnings.

Still another choice is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which usually allows you make number selection for 30 keno rounds or more. Heck, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to fret about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

So now you have learned a handful of indispensable schemes for winning keno. If you are an advanced gambler, they might seem to be incredibly obvious. But it won’t hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a novice user, every little bit of advice will help make your keno playing more enjoyable.
