It may not usually be thought of as the sexiest game in the realm of wagering, but keno has millions of fanatical supporters. And it should! It’s a always thrilling lotto-like game that’s easy to master, readily available in many different styles, and one that can yield millions for gamblers who master its limitless subtle rules. But let’s deal with the basics for now.

When describing keno to newcomers, some betting masters compare it to bingo. This is at least tolerably apt, in that both games are essentially numerical. However, to take that comparison too far can be to think too little of the great many unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno users have the power to choose the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the player is granted an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a normalball point pen like you had back in the day.

Once you have picked your numbers, take your card back to the person at the keno stand. The clerk will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning slip on you, you will be given precisely $.00 for your winning card.

Now there you have strategy #1: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let us move to something a little bit more useful, what do you think?

After you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and watch the action take place on a video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers appear for all to see. If you have winners, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to drag your feet, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get back to the keno stand to collect your winnings, as a new round of keno will most likely start within 5 minutes.

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

Assuming you can’t trust yourself to beat that five-minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty cards. When the max amount of keno games (the same as the number of tickets) is completed, you can then get off your numb rump and go retrieve your winnings.

Yet an additional opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly lets you make number selection for thirty games or more. Gosh, you can take a world tour and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you are aware of a few needed techniques for winning keno. If you are an experienced gambler, they may seem stupidly obvious. Still, it won’t hurt to study up on the fundamentals, and if you are a newbie user, every bit of direction will help make your keno wagering more captivating.
