It won’t generally be considered the sexiest game in the arena of gambling, but keno has tons of dedicated fans. As well it should! It’s a always entertaining lotto-like game that’s simple to pickup, readily available in tons of different styles, and one that can yield millions of dollars for those who master its uncounted subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basic facts for now.

When describing keno to beginners, some wagering experts compare it to lotto. This is at least to some extent correct, in that both games are basically numerical. However, to take that comparison too far will be to discount the endless unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the power to select the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the player is given an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as she 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 desired numbers with a good oldmarker like you had when you were in grade 3.

After you have picked your numbers, take the game card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The nice person will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your time spent.

OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let us move on to something a bit more complicated, ok?

After you’ve selected your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action happen on a monitor. This is where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to dilly dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You are required to get up to the keno stand to get your winnings, since a new drawing will surely get going within not too many minutes.

Strategy #2: always be sure to get back to the keno booth on time!

Since you don’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the maximum number of rounds (the same as the number of tickets) is completed, you should then get off your lazy butt and go redeem your winnings.

Yet an additional opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly lets you make number selection for 30 keno games or more. Heck, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

So now you have learned a couple of needed schemes for winning keno. If you are an adept player, they might seem to be very obvious. However, it will not hurt to brush up on the basic strategies, and if you are a beginner user, every bit of advice will help make your keno playing more exciting.
