It might not generally be deemed the sexiest game in the field of wagering, but keno has tons of passionate fans. And it ought to! It’s a regularly exciting lottery-type game that’s a snap to learn, readily available in a number of different variations, and one that can return mega-dollars for gamblers who learn its uncounted subtle nuances. But let’s start with the beginner’s rules for now.

When describing keno to beginners, some gambling masters compare it to lotto. This is at least nearly apt, in that both games are basically numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far is likely to be to misunderstand the innumerable unique characteristics that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno users have the ability to pick the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the user is given an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to determine as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your handpicked numbers with a normalball point pen like you had when you were in grade 3.

Now that you have selected your numbers, take your keno card back to the nice person at the keno stand. The person will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not lose this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will win precisely $.00 for your actions.

So, there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let us move to something a little more advanced, yes?

After you’ve picked your numbers, get into a comfy keno booth and see the action take place on the big keno monitor. That is where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to take too much time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, as a new round of keno will almost certainly start up within not too many minutes.

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

Since you don’t trust yourself to meet that five-minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the max number of rounds (fitting the amount of tickets) is completed, you are then able to get off your lazy bum and go get your winnings.

Yet an additional alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally allows you make number choices for 30 keno games or more. Gosh, you can take a world tour and not have to fret about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

And now you have learned a few required methods for winning keno. If you are an adept keno player, they might seem to be stupidly obvious. Still, it won’t hurt to study up on the fundamentals, and if you are a new player, every little bit of information will help make your keno betting more enjoyable.
