It may not often be seen as the best game in the realm of gaming, but keno has millions and millions of dedicated admirers. And it ought to!

When describing keno to novices, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least tolerably correct, in that both games are generally numerical. However, to take that comparison too far might be to underrate the endless unique characteristics that make keno so compelling. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers 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 extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your chosen numbers with a standardball point pen like you had when you were a kid.

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, take your keno card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The clerk will record those numbers and then give you a receipt.

You are required to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, as a new round of keno will most likely begin within not too many minutes.

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

Since you don’t trust yourself to meet that five-minute margin every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 tickets. When the maximum number of rounds (fitting the number of tickets) is played out, you may then get off your numb back side and go get your winnings.

Yet an additional choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which generally allows you make number selection for 30 keno rounds or more. Hell, you can take vacation to France and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

And now you know several necessary techniques for winning keno. If you are an adept user, they might appear to be stupidly obvious. However, it does not hurt to bone up on the basic techniques, and if you are a new player, every bit of direction will help make your keno playing time more fun.
