It may not often be considered the most fun game in the universe of betting, but keno has tons of devoted supporters. And it should! It’s a consistently thrilling lotto-ish game that’s simple to master, abundantly available in loads of different styles, and one that may pay out millions of dollars for people who master its uncounted subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basic rules for now.

When describing keno to newcomers, some gambling pros compare it to lotto. This is at least nearly apt, in that both games are essentially numerical. But to take that comparison too far might be to devalue the endless unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno players have the power to choose the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is furnished with an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as she needs. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist 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 standard#2 pencil like you used when you were in grade 3.

Once you’ve picked your numbers, take your card back to the person at the keno booth. The girl will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning ticket in hand, you will win exactly $.00 for your winning card.

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

Once you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and see the action unfold on a monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to dilly dally, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You need to get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, since a new keno game will surely start within not too many minutes.

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

Since you do not trust yourself to make that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the max amount of rounds (fitting the number of tickets) is finished, you can then get off your numb back side and go redeem your winnings.

Yet another option is recognized as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which normally lets you make number choices for thirty keno rounds or more. Heck, you can take a world tour and not have to worry about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

And now you have learned a few necessary techniques for winning keno. If you are a skillful player, they may appear to be incredibly obvious. Still, it will not hurt to bone up on the basic tactics, and if you are a new user, every bit of advice will help make your keno gambling more entertaining.
