Keno Strategies That Make Money
Thursday, 21. June 2018
It will not generally be thought of as the best game in the arena of betting, but keno has loads of dedicated admirers. And so it should! It’s a consistently entertaining lotto-ish game that’s a breeze to learn, abundantly available in loads of alternate variations, and one that might yield millions for players who learn its many subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basic rules for now.
When defining keno to newcomers, some wagering masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least in some measure correct, in that both games are essentially numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far is likely to be to discount the countless unique characteristics that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno players have the freedom to select the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as numerous (or as few) numbers as she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your selected numbers with a standardball point pen like you had back in the day.
Now that you’ve picked your numbers, carry the keno card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning ticket with you, you will collect precisely $.00 for your winning card.
OK, so there you have strategy #1: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let’s move to something a little more complicated, what do you think?
Now that you’ve selected your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and watch the action happen on the keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers appear for us. If you picked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to dilly dally, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You are required to get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, and a new keno game will likely get going within five minutes.
Strategy number two: always go back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you can’t trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline each and every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 slips. When the maximum amount of games (the same as the amount of tickets) is completed, you may then get off your numb butt and go collect your winnings.
Still another option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally allows you make number picks for thirty games or more. Heck, you can take all the time in the world and not have to fret about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after purchase!
So now you are aware of several indispensable schemes for winning keno. If you are an advanced keno player, they might seem to be incredibly obvious. Still, it will not hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a beginner user, every little bit of information will help make your keno experience more exciting.
