It might not generally be considered the most lucrative game in the arena of betting, but keno has massive amounts of passionate enthusiasts. As well it should! It’s a routinely entertaining lottery-esque game that’s easy to learn, abundantly available in several different formats, and one that will return millions for gamblers who master its limitless subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the basic facts here.
When describing keno to beginners, some betting masters compare it to lotto. This is at least tolerably correct, in that both games are essentially numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far can be to devalue the countless unique characteristics that make keno so compelling. Not like bingo, keno users have the ability to pick the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is granted an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he desires. 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 selected numbers with a standard#2 pencil like you used when you were in third grade.
Now that you have marked your numbers, carry your card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The clerk will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your loud shirt and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your winning card.
And there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let’s move to something a bit more complex, shall we?
Once you’ve picked out your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action happen on the keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to take your time, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You want to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, and then a new drawing will likely begin within 5 minutes.
Strategy number 2: always go back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you can’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from two to twenty tickets. When the max number of games (fitting the amount of tickets) is completed, you are then able to get off your lazy back side and go get your winnings.
Yet an additional alternative is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly allows you make number selection for 30 games or more. Hell, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
So now you have learned a few needed methods for winning keno. If you are an advanced user, they may appear to be incredibly obvious. Still, it will never hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a novice gambler, every bit of direction will help make your keno betting more enjoyable.
