Thursday, 18. October 2018
It won’t commonly be seen as the most lucrative game in the realm of wagering, but keno has huge amounts of steadfast followers. And it ought to! It’s a regularly entertaining lottery-style game that’s a breeze to pickup, abundantly available in a number of alternate formats, and one that will pay out millions for players who learn its countless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the beginner’s rules here.
When describing keno to newbies, some wagering pros compare it to lotto. This is at least to some extent apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far might be to detract from the great many unique characteristics that make keno so compelling. Not like bingo, keno players have the ability to pick the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the player is given an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he or she needs. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a ordinary#2 pencil like you used when you were a kid.
Now that you’ve picked your numbers, carry your keno card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The clerk will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will get exactly $.00 for your winning card.
OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let us get on to something a little bit more complex, ok?
After you’ve marked your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and observe the action happen on a video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are shown for all to see. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You are required to get up to the keno stand to get your winnings, and a new round of keno will surely start within five minutes.
Strategy number 2: always go back to the keno stand on time!
Since you do not trust yourself to make that 5 minute margin each time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the max number of rounds (the same as the amount of tickets) is played out, you may then get off your numb butt and go collect your winnings.
Another opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which generally allows you make number choices for thirty rounds or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to France and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!
So now you have learned a couple of necessary techniques for winning keno. If you are a skillful player, they may seem to be incredibly obvious. Still, it will not hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice user, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno playing more enjoyable.
