It will not commonly be seen as the best game in the universe of wagering, but keno has millions of devoted enthusiasts. And so it should! It’s a routinely thrilling lotto-style game that’s uncomplicated to play, abundantly available in a number of different variations, and one that might return mega-dollars for people who learn its limitless subtle nuances. But let’s start with the basic facts for now.

When describing keno to amateurs, some betting pros compare it to bingo. This is at least to some extent apt, in that both games are essentially numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far can be to downplay the endless unique aspect that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno players have the ability to select the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the user is given an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as many (or as few) numbers as she needs. And it doesn’t take a genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your chosen numbers with a normalball point pen like you had when you were in third grade.

After you have picked your numbers, take your card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The girl will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning slip on you, you will win exactly $.00 for your actions.

OK, so there you have strategy number one: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us go on to something a bit more advanced, shall we?

Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action unfold on the video monitor. That is where the winning numbers appear for us. If you’ve got winners, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to dilly dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You are required to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, since a new drawing will surely start within 5 minutes.

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

Assuming you don’t trust yourself to make that five-minute margin every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty cards. When the max number of rounds (fitting the number of tickets) is finished, you can then get off your numb bum and go get your winnings.

Still another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly allows you make number choices for thirty keno rounds or more. Golly, 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" slips are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

So now you know a couple of needed techniques for winning keno. If you are a skillful gambler, they may seem to be incredibly obvious. But it does not hurt to study up on the basic tactics, and if you are a novice keno player, every little bit of advice will help make your keno gambling more captivating.
