When describing keno to novices, some betting masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least to some extent correct, in that both games are essentially numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far will be to minimize the good many unique characteristics that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the power to select the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is accord an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she needs. 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 chosen numbers with a normal#2 pencil like you had when you were in grade 3.
After you’ve checked your numbers, carry the game card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning slip on you, you will win exactly $.00 for your actions.
And there you have strategy number one: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let us get on to something a little more complicated, yes?
Now that you’ve selected your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and observe the action take place on a video monitor. That is where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you selected winners, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to dilly dally, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, since a new drawing will almost certainly begin within 5 minutes.
Strategy #2: always make it back to the keno stand on time!
Since you don’t trust yourself to make that 5 minute margin each time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the max amount of games (fitting the number of tickets) is played, you can then get off your lazy rump and go get your winnings.
Yet an additional alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which commonly lets you make number selection for thirty games or more. Gosh, you can take an ocean cruise 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 purchase!
So now you know several essential techniques for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable user, they may appear to be very obvious. But it will never hurt to bone up on the basic techniques, and if you are a newbie player, every little bit of advice will help make your keno experience more entertaining.
