It will not usually be deemed the most fun game in the field of wagering, but keno has millions and millions of passionate enthusiasts. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a always entertaining lotto-ish game that’s a snap to pickup, readily available in several alternate formats, and one that can return millions for those who learn its countless subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules here.

When defining keno to newbies, some gambling masters compare it to bingo. This is at least in some measure apt, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. However, to take that comparison too far is likely to be to undervalue the good many unique traits that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the power to choose 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 pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she needs. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your chosen numbers with a ordinary#2 pencil like you had when you were in grade 3.

Now that you’ve marked your numbers, take the card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will collect precisely $.00 for your winning card.

So, there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s go on to something a bit more advanced, shall we?

After you’ve selected your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action unfold on the monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to move to slowly, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You must get back to the keno stand to collect your winnings, since a new round of keno will probably start within 5 minutes.

Strategy number two: always go back to the keno stand on time!

Since you can not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty cards. When the maximum amount of keno games (the same as the number of tickets) is completed, you will then be able to get off your numb butt and go get your winnings.

Still another choice is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly lets you make number choices for 30 games or more. Golly, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you are aware of several indispensable schemes for winning keno. If you are an adept gambler, they might seem incredibly obvious. However, it doesn’t hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a newbie gambler, every bit of advice will help make your keno experience more exciting.
