It may not generally be seen as the most fun game in the realm of wagering, but keno has loads of dedicated admirers. As well it should! It’s a consistently entertaining lottery-like game that’s uncomplicated to master, abundantly available in many assorted variations, and one that can pay out millions for people who master its heaps of subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the basics for now.

When defining keno to newbies, some betting masters compare it to bingo. This is at least in part apt, in that each game is essentially numerical. However, to take that comparison too far can be to undervalue 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 user is granted an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a every day old#2 pencil like you used back in school.

Once you have checked your numbers, carry your card back to the girl at the keno booth. The girl will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your mug and wants help out, without a winning ticket in hand, you will collect precisely $.00 for your efforts.

And there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno receipt. Let’s advance to something a bit more complicated, yes?

After you’ve selected your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and see the action take place on a big video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you checked winners, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to take your time, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, since a new drawing will probably start within not too many minutes.

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

Assuming you don’t trust yourself to beat that five-minute deadline each time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the max amount of games (the same as the amount of tickets) is played, you will then be able to get off your numb bum and go get your winnings.

Yet another opportunity is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally allows you make number picks for 30 keno games or more. Golly, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

So now you are aware of a couple necessary techniques for winning keno. If you are a good player, they may appear to be incredibly obvious. Still, it will never hurt to study up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner player, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno betting more agreeable.
