It will not generally be seen as the sexiest game in the realm of wagering, but keno has massive amounts of devout admirers. And so it should! It’s a always exciting lottery-type game that’s a snap to master, readily available in many assorted variations, and one that might yield millions of dollars for gamblers who learn its heaps of subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the beginner’s rules for now.

When describing keno to novices, some wagering experts compare it to the lottery. This is at least in some measure correct, in that each game is generally numerical. But to carry that comparison too far will be to devalue the countless unique traits that make keno so interesting. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the freedom to select the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is furnished with an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a normalball point pen like you had back in the day.

Now that you have checked your numbers, take your game card back to the girl at the keno stand. The person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will get precisely $.00 for your efforts.

So, there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s move to something a little bit more complicated, ok?

After you’ve picked out your numbers, settle into a nice keno booth and see the action unfold on the big keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers are shown for all to see. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to dilly dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You need to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, as a new round of keno will probably begin within not too many minutes.

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

Since you do not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 slips. When the maximum amount of games (matching the number of tickets) is played out, you will then be able to get off your lazy bum and go collect your winnings.

Another opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which usually allows you make number selection for thirty rounds or more. Heck, you can take a world tour and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!

So now you know a couple of essential techniques for winning keno. If you are an accomplished gambler, they might seem very obvious. But it will not hurt to study up on the basic strategies, and if you are a newbie user, every little bit of information will help make your keno wagering more captivating.
