It may not usually be seen as the sexiest game in the world of betting, but keno has millions of steadfast followers. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a routinely thrilling lottery-type game that’s a breeze to learn, readily available in lots of different formats, and one that may return millions for people who learn its many subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basic rules for now.

When describing keno to newcomers, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to lotto. This is at least partially apt, in that both games are essentially numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far will be to underestimate the endless unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno users have the freedom to choose the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the player is given an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as many (or as few) numbers as he or she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a super genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your chosen numbers with a every day oldpen like you had when you were a kid.

Once you have picked your numbers, carry the keno card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The clerk will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers you and wants help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will get exactly $.00 for your actions.

And there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let us get on to something a bit more useful, shall we?

After you’ve picked your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and watch the action unfold on the monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you picked winners, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, and then a new drawing will most likely get going within 5 minutes.

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

Assuming you do not trust yourself to beat that five-minute deadline every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the maximum number of rounds (fitting the amount of tickets) is played, you may then get off your lazy back side and go redeem your winnings.

Still another opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno card, which commonly allows you make number picks for 30 keno games or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to France and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

And now you know a few needed techniques for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable keno player, they might seem to be quite obvious. But it will not hurt to brush up on the basic strategies, and if you are a newbie keno player, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno playing more exciting.
