It won’t generally be looked at as the most lucrative game in the world of betting, but keno has huge amounts of devout supporters. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a consistently entertaining lottery-esque game that’s a snap to master, readily available in lots of assorted formats, and one that can yield millions of dollars for players who learn its numerous subtle rules. But let’s begin with the basic rules here.

When explaining keno to novices, some betting experts compare it to lotto. This is at least to a certain extent correct, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. But to take that comparison too far would be to downplay the endless unique traits that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the freedom to pick the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is accord an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to choose as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she needs. And it doesn’t take a genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a standard#2 pencil like you used when you were a kid.

Now that you’ve selected your numbers, carry your card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The clerk will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will collect exactly $.00 for your time spent.

Now there you have strategy #1: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let’s move to something a tiny bit more useful, what do you think?

Now that you’ve marked your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action happen on a video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are shown in lights. If you have winners, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You are required to get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, and a new keno game will probably begin within a few minutes.

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

Since you can’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the maximum amount of rounds (the same as the number of tickets) is played out, you may then get off your numb back side and go get your winnings.

Yet an additional option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally allows you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Heck, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!

So now you have learned several needed methods for winning keno. If you are a skillful gambler, they might seem to be stupidly obvious. But it won’t hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a beginner player, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno betting more exciting.
