It may not usually be considered the sexiest game in the arena of gaming, but keno has loads of keen fans. And so it should! It’s a always thrilling lotto-esque game that’s easy to pickup, readily available in a number of different formats, and one that can yield millions for those who learn its limitless subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules here.

When describing keno to novices, some betting experts compare it to lotto. This is at least to a certain extent apt, in that each game is essentially numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far is likely to be to minimize the innumerable unique characteristics that make keno so entertaining. Not like bingo, keno users have the power to pick the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is granted an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your picked numbers with a good oldball point pen like you used when you were in school.

After you have marked your numbers, take your keno card back to the person at the keno booth. The clerk 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 mug and wants help out, without a winning slip with you, you will get precisely $.00 for your winning card.

And there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let us advance to something a little more advanced, yes?

Now that you’ve selected your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and observe the action unfold on the monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you marked winners, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to dilly dally, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You are required to get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, as a new drawing will certainly start up within a few minutes.

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

Assuming you don’t trust yourself to beat that five-minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the max number of keno games (matching the amount of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your lazy butt and go collect your winnings.

Yet an additional alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which usually lets you make number picks for thirty keno rounds or more. Gosh, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

And now you know a few needed schemes for winning keno. If you are a good player, they may appear to be stupidly obvious. Still, it won’t hurt to brush up on the basic strategies, and if you are a beginner keno player, every little bit of advice will help make your keno games more entertaining.
