It won’t commonly be seen as the funnest game in the world of wagering, but keno has millions of devoted admirers. And it should! It’s a constantly entertaining lotto-style game that’s simple to play, readily available in loads of assorted formats, and one that can yield millions of dollars for those who learn its limitless subtle rules. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules for now.
When describing keno to newbies, some wagering masters compare it to bingo. This is at least in some ways correct, in that both games are essentially numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far might be to minimize the endless unique characteristics that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the freedom to choose the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is furnished with an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a normalball point pen like you had back in school.
Once you’ve checked your numbers, take your keno card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning slip with you, you will collect precisely $.00 for your winning card.
Now there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let us move on to something a little bit more complex, yes?
After you’ve marked your numbers, get into a comfy keno booth and see the action happen on a monitor. That’s where the winning numbers appear for us. If you marked winners, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to dilly dally, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get up to the keno booth to get your winnings, as a new keno game will almost certainly get going within 5 minutes.
Strategy number 2: always be sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you can’t trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty cards. When the max amount of keno games (matching the amount of tickets) is played out, you can then get off your numb butt and go retrieve your winnings.
Yet an additional option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally allows you make number selection for 30 keno rounds or more. Hell, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to get uptight 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 know a number of indispensable methods for winning keno. If you are an experienced user, they might seem incredibly obvious. However, it will never hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner gambler, every little bit of information will help make your keno gambling more exciting.
