It will not generally be thought of as the sexiest game in the arena of gambling, but keno has tons of fanatical supporters. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a regularly entertaining lottery-type game that’s simple to play, abundantly available in several alternate styles, and one that may yield millions for players who learn its uncounted subtle rules. But let’s start with the beginner’s rules here.

When describing keno to newcomers, some gambling pros compare it to lotto. This is at least in some measure apt, in that each game is generally numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far can be to undervalue the many unique traits that make keno so exciting. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the freedom to pick the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as she desires. And it doesn’t take a genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a standardpen like you used when you were in grade 3.

Once you’ve marked your numbers, carry your card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning slip with you, you will get exactly $.00 for your winning card.

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

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and see the action happen on a monitor. That is where the winning numbers appear in lights. If you’ve got winners, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to take too much time, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You are required to get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, and then a new drawing will certainly get going within not too many minutes.

Strategy #2: always make it back to the keno stand on time!

Since you do not trust yourself to meet that 5 minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the maximum number of games (the same as the number of tickets) is played out, you can then get off your lazy bum and go get your winnings.

Another alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which usually lets you make number choices for thirty games or more. Hell, you can take vacation to France and not have to fret about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!

And now you are aware of a number of needed methods for winning keno. If you are a good user, they may seem to be very obvious. However, it does not hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a newbie gambler, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno betting more enjoyable.
