It won’t ordinarily be thought of as the most lucrative game in the world of wagering, but keno has millions of devoted players. And it ought to! It’s a constantly entertaining lotto-esque game that’s easy to master, abundantly available in loads of assorted styles, and one that may pay out mega-dollars for gamblers who master its limitless subtle rules. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules for now.

When describing keno to novices, some wagering experts compare it to the lottery. This is at least in some measure correct, in that both games are basically numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far will be to downplay the endless unique aspect that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the power to select the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the user is granted an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to pick as many (or as few) numbers as she needs. And it doesn’t take a super genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your chosen numbers with a every day oldpen like you used when you were in school.

After you have picked your numbers, carry the game card back to the person at the keno booth. The girl will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your loud shirt and wants help out, without a winning slip on you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your actions.

OK, so there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let’s move on to something a bit more advanced, yes?

After you’ve checked off your numbers, settle into a nice keno booth and watch the action unfold on a big video monitor. This is where the winning numbers show up for us. If you’ve got winners, mark your card aptly. Be 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 collect your winnings, since a new keno game will probably begin within a few minutes.

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

Assuming you can’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin each time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty cards. When the maximum amount of keno games (the same as the amount of tickets) is played, you may then get off your lazy bum and go collect your winnings.

Still another option is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which normally allows you make number selection for 30 keno rounds or more. Heck, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

So now you have learned a handful of needed techniques for winning keno. If you are an accomplished keno player, they might seem incredibly obvious. However, it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner player, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno games more exciting.
