It won’t generally be deemed the best game in the arena of wagering, but keno has tons of passionate fans. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a routinely exciting lotto-esque game that’s a breeze to play, abundantly available in many alternate variations, and one that can pay out millions for gamblers who master its limitless subtle rules. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules for now.

When explaining keno to newbies, some wagering connoisseurs compare it to lotto. This is at least to a certain extent apt, in that both games are essentially numerical. But to take that comparison too far might be to miscalculate the endless unique characteristics that make keno so entertaining. Not like bingo, keno users have the ability to select the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the player is furnished with an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he needs. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your selected numbers with a every day oldmarker like you used when you were in grade 3.

After you’ve checked your numbers, carry the keno card back to the person at the keno booth. The nice person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will be given precisely $.00 for your time spent.

And there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s get on to something a little bit more advanced, ok?

Now that you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and watch the action unfold on a big video monitor. That is where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to take too much time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get back to the keno stand to get your winnings, and then a new round of keno will most likely start up within not too many minutes.

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

Since you can not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin each time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 slips. When the max number of keno games (matching the amount of tickets) is completed, you are then able to get off your numb back side and go redeem your winnings.

Another opportunity is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly lets you make number selection for 30 rounds or more. Gosh, you can take a world tour and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

So now you know a few essential techniques for winning keno. If you are an experienced keno player, they may appear to be quite obvious. But it won’t hurt to brush up on the basic strategies, and if you are a beginner keno player, every little bit of information will help make your keno experience more enjoyable.
