It may not usually be considered the most lucrative game in the arena of gambling, but keno has huge amounts of zealous players. And it should! It’s a regularly entertaining lottery-type game that’s simple to pickup, readily available in lots of different styles, and one that will pay out mega-dollars for people who master its heaps of subtle nuances. But let’s start with the basics for now.

When defining keno to beginners, some gambling pros compare it to the lottery. This is at least to a certain extent correct, in that each game is essentially numerical. But to take that comparison too far will be to think too little of the endless unique aspect that make keno so compelling. Not like bingo, keno users have the ability to choose the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the user is given an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. 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 ordinaryball point pen like you used back in school.

Now that you’ve checked your numbers, take your keno card back to the person at the keno stand. The girl will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will get precisely $.00 for your time spent.

Now there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us advance to something a tiny bit more useful, yes?

Once you’ve picked your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action take place on the monitor. That is where the winning numbers show up for us. If you marked winners, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You must get up to the keno stand to get your winnings, since a new drawing will almost certainly get going within 5 minutes.

Strategy number two: always make it back to the keno booth on time!

Assuming you don’t 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 2 to twenty tickets. When the max amount of games (the same as the amount of tickets) is finished, you may then get off your numb butt and go retrieve your winnings.

Another alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally lets you make number picks for 30 keno games or more. Heck, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to fret about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!

So now you have learned a handful of necessary methods for winning keno. If you are an accomplished user, they might appear to be stupidly obvious. But it will never hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a new gambler, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno betting more fun.
