It might not often be deemed the best game in the universe of gaming, but keno has loads of devoted followers. And it should! It’s a constantly thrilling lottery-like game that’s a snap to play, readily available in several assorted formats, and one that can yield millions for those who master its endless subtle nuances. But let’s start with the basic rules for now.

When explaining keno to amateurs, some gambling experts compare it to lotto. This is at least to a certain extent correct, in that each game is basically numerical. However, to take that comparison too far would be to underrate the countless unique aspect that make keno so exciting. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to pick the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is given an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to select as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a normal#2 pencil like you had when you were in grade 3.

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, carry the game card back to the person at the keno booth. The girl will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will be given precisely $.00 for your efforts.

OK, so there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s go on to something a little bit more complex, yes?

Once you’ve marked your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and see the action unfold on the monitor. That is where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you picked winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You are required to get up to the keno booth to collect your winnings, since a new drawing will probably get going within a few minutes.

Strategy #2: always be sure to get back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you don’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin each time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 slips. When the max amount of games (matching the amount of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your numb rump and go collect your winnings.

Still another option is recognized as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally allows you make number selection for thirty keno rounds or more. Hell, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you are aware of several necessary techniques for winning keno. If you are an advanced gambler, they may seem very obvious. However, it doesn’t hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a novice user, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno wagering more fun.
