It might not usually be considered the most lucrative game in the arena of gaming, but keno has millions of dedicated enthusiasts. And why not? It’s a constantly entertaining lottery-like game that’s uncomplicated to play, abundantly available in a number of alternate variations, and one that can return mega-dollars for people who learn its heaps of subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the beginner’s rules here.

When defining keno to novices, some gambling experts compare it to bingo. This is at least in some ways apt, in that both games are essentially numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far will be to downplay the many unique traits that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno users have the freedom to select the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is furnished with an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as numerous (or as few) numbers as he 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 of your handpicked numbers with a every day oldpen like you had back in the day.

Once you have picked your numbers, take your card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The clerk will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning ticket with you, you will win precisely $.00 for your time spent.

So, there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let’s go on to something a little bit more complex, yes?

After you’ve picked your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action unfold on a big video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to take too much time, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get back to the keno stand to get your winnings, and a new round of keno will likely begin within not too many minutes.

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

Assuming you do not trust yourself to make that 5 minute margin every time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 slips. When the maximum amount of rounds (matching the number of tickets) is played out, you will then be able to get off your lazy bum and go collect your winnings.

Still another choice is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which usually lets you make number picks for 30 keno games or more. Hell, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to worry about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

And now you know a handful of indispensable strategies for winning keno. If you are a good gambler, they might seem to be very obvious. Still, it won’t hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a newbie user, every bit of advice will help make your keno gambling more enjoyable.
