It will not commonly be looked at as the most lucrative game in the world of gambling, but keno has loads of passionate supporters. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a always thrilling lottery-ish game that’s easy to pickup, readily available in many alternate variations, and one that might return millions of dollars for gamblers who master its endless subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the basics here.

When describing keno to newbies, some betting experts compare it to lotto. This is at least to some extent apt, in that each game is generally numerical. But to carry that comparison too far is likely to be to discount the endless unique characteristics that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno players have the freedom to choose the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is furnished with an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. And it doesn’t take a super genius to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your selected numbers with a ordinary#2 pencil like you had when you were in third grade.

After you have picked your numbers, carry the keno card back to the person at the keno booth. The person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will get precisely $.00 for your time spent.

OK, so there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us advance to something a tiny bit more useful, shall we?

Once you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action unfold on the keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you checked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, and a new keno game will almost certainly get going within 5 minutes.

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

Since you can not trust yourself to make that 5 minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the max amount of rounds (fitting the amount of tickets) is played, you will then be able to get off your lazy butt and go retrieve your winnings.

Another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which normally allows you make number picks for 30 keno games or more. Hell, you can take all the time in the world and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

So now you have learned a couple necessary methods for winning keno. If you are an experienced player, they might seem to be incredibly obvious. But it won’t hurt to study up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner gambler, every bit of information will help make your keno experience more fun.
