It won’t generally be deemed the most lucrative game in the realm of gambling, but keno has millions of passionate followers. And why not? It’s a always exciting lotto-ish game that’s a snap to pickup, abundantly available in a number of different variations, and one that may yield millions of dollars for gamblers who learn its limitless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the beginner’s rules for now.

When describing keno to beginners, some gaming experts compare it to bingo. This is at least nearly correct, in that each game is basically numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far can be to miscalculate the endless unique aspect that make keno so interesting. Unlike bingo, keno users have the ability to pick the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as he wants. And it doesn’t take a genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your selected numbers with a ordinaryball point pen like you used back in school.

After you’ve marked your numbers, take the card back to the girl at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) valuable 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 time spent.

So, there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno slip. Let us move on to something a bit more complex, shall we?

Once you’ve selected your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and observe the action unfold on a monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are shown in lights. If you picked winners, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to drag your feet, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You need to get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, since a new keno game will almost certainly begin within five minutes.

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

Assuming you do not trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline each time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty cards. When the max amount of games (matching the number of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your numb butt and go redeem your winnings.

Another option is recognized as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly lets you make number choices for thirty keno rounds or more. Hell, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

And now you know a couple essential schemes for winning keno. If you are a skillful player, they might seem quite obvious. Still, it won’t hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a newbie user, every bit of direction will help make your keno playing more fun.
