It will not often be considered the best game in the field of betting, but keno has tons of devoted supporters. As well it should! It’s a regularly thrilling lottery-type game that’s uncomplicated to learn, readily available in a number of assorted variations, and one that will yield mega-dollars for those who master its limitless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the beginner’s rules here.

When explaining keno to amateurs, some gaming pros compare it to bingo. This is at least to some extent correct, in that each game is generally numerical. However, to take that comparison too far is likely to be to minimize the innumerable unique traits that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno players have the freedom to pick the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is given an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as numerous (or as few) numbers as she wants. 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 all your selected numbers with a standardmarker like you had back in the day.

After you’ve marked your numbers, carry your game card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The person will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will collect exactly $.00 for your efforts.

And there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let us move on to something a little more useful, what do you think?

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and see the action happen on the screen. That’s where the winning numbers are shown in lights. If you picked winners, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to take your time, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You need to get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, and then a new keno game will probably start within a few minutes.

Strategy number 2: always go back to the keno booth on time!

Since you do not trust yourself to make that 5 minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the maximum amount of keno games (fitting the amount of tickets) is played out, you can then get off your lazy butt and go redeem your winnings.

Yet an additional opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly allows you make number picks for 30 games or more. Hell, you can take vacation to France and not have to fret 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 know several necessary schemes for winning keno. If you are a discerning player, they might appear to be very obvious. Still, it won’t hurt to brush up on the basic techniques, and if you are a beginner keno player, every little bit of advice will help make your keno gambling more fun.
