It won’t usually be deemed the most fun game in the universe of gambling, but keno has tons of fanatical admirers. And so it should! It’s a regularly thrilling lottery-ish game that’s simple to master, readily available in lots of alternate formats, and one that will return millions of dollars for gamblers who master its countless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basic facts here.

When explaining keno to newbies, some gaming masters compare it to bingo. This is at least partly apt, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. However, to take that comparison too far would be to minimize the endless unique traits that make keno so exciting. Not like bingo, keno players have the ability to choose the numbers for each and 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 select as many (or as few) numbers as she wants. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a ordinaryball point pen like you used when you were in grade 3.

After you have selected your numbers, take your keno card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The nice person will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your loud shirt and wants help out, without a winning receipt with you, you will win precisely $.00 for your winning card.

OK, so there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno receipt. Let us move to something a little bit more complicated, what do you think?

Once you’ve marked your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and watch the action happen on a video monitor. That is where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you picked winners, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to dilly dally, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, as a new drawing will surely get going within 5 minutes.

Strategy number two: always make sure to get back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you can not trust yourself to make that 5 minute deadline each time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 slips. When the max number of games (matching the amount of tickets) is played, you may then get off your numb butt and go retrieve your winnings.

Yet an additional choice is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which usually lets you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Golly, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

And now you have learned a number of essential schemes for winning keno. If you are an advanced keno player, they might seem stupidly obvious. However, it won’t hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner user, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno games more fun.
