It may not usually be deemed the sexiest game in the field of betting, but keno has millions and millions of dedicated followers. And why not? It’s a regularly thrilling lotto-type game that’s easy to master, readily available in lots of different styles, and one that might pay out millions for players who learn its numerous subtle rules. But let’s start with the basic facts here.

When describing keno to amateurs, some gaming masters compare it to bingo. This is at least in some ways apt, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far would be to detract from the great many unique characteristics that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno users have the freedom to pick the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is furnished with an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as numerous (or as few) numbers as she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your selected numbers with a every day oldpen like you had back in the day.

Once you’ve picked your numbers, take your game card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The clerk will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning slip with you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your time spent.

Now there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno receipt. Let us advance to something a little more complex, yes?

Once you’ve picked out your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action take place on the screen. That is where the winning numbers appear in lights. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to move to slowly, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, since a new round of keno will probably get going within 5 minutes.

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

Since you can’t trust yourself to make that five-minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 tickets. When the max number of keno games (matching the amount of tickets) is completed, you are then able to get off your lazy back side and go get your winnings.

Yet an additional opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly lets you make number choices for thirty rounds or more. Heck, you can take all the time in the world and not have to fret about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!

So now you are aware of several needed methods for winning keno. If you are an experienced player, they might seem to be incredibly obvious. But it will not hurt to study up on the basic methods, and if you are a novice player, every bit of direction will help make your keno playing more captivating.
