It will not ordinarily be looked at as the sexiest game in the field of gambling, but keno has huge amounts of devoted admirers. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a regularly entertaining lotto-esque game that’s a snap to play, abundantly available in several alternate formats, and one that can yield millions of dollars for those who learn its uncounted subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basics here.
When explaining keno to novices, some betting experts compare it to bingo. This is at least partially correct, in that both games are generally numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far is likely to be to underestimate the innumerable unique aspect that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to choose the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is given an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. And it doesn’t take a genius to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your handpicked numbers with a standardpen like you used when you were in grade 3.
Now that you’ve selected your numbers, carry your keno card back to the person at the keno stand. The person will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will be given precisely $.00 for your time spent.
Now there you have strategy number one: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s advance to something a little more complex, ok?
Once you’ve checked off your numbers, settle into a nice keno booth and observe the action unfold on a big video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you have winners, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to drag your feet, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, and then a new round of keno will most likely get going within a few minutes.
Strategy number 2: always go back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you don’t trust yourself to meet that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the maximum amount of rounds (the same as the number of tickets) is completed, you may then get off your numb rump and go get your winnings.
Another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally allows you make number choices for thirty rounds or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
And now you are aware of a couple essential methods for winning keno. If you are an accomplished player, they might appear to be stupidly obvious. However, it does not hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a new player, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno gambling more captivating.
