It might not usually be deemed the funnest game in the realm of betting, but keno has millions of fanatical admirers. As well it should! It’s a always exciting lotto-esque game that’s uncomplicated to master, readily available in tons of assorted formats, and one that can pay out mega-dollars for those who learn its countless subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basic facts for now.

When explaining keno to amateurs, some gaming masters compare it to bingo. This is at least to some extent correct, in that each game is basically numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far is likely to be to minimize the many unique aspect that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno users have the power to select the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the player is granted an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to choose as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. And it doesn’t take a super genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your selected numbers with a ordinaryball point pen like you had when you were in school.

After you have marked your numbers, carry the game card back to the girl at the keno stand. The girl will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning ticket with you, you will collect precisely $.00 for your efforts.

OK, so there you have strategy number one: always make sure to keep your keno receipt. Let’s move on to something a bit more useful, ok?

After you’ve marked your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action happen on the screen. That’s where the winning numbers appear for us. If you checked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get back to the keno stand to collect your winnings, and then a new keno game will likely start up within five minutes.

Strategy #2: always make it back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you can not trust yourself to make that 5 minute deadline each time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty slips. When the max amount of rounds (fitting the number of tickets) is finished, you may then get off your numb back side and go redeem your winnings.

Another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally lets you make number choices for 30 keno rounds or more. Golly, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you are aware of a couple of necessary strategies for winning keno. If you are an advanced gambler, they might seem quite obvious. However, it does not hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a novice user, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno playing more entertaining.
