It will not often be deemed the funnest game in the realm of betting, but keno has huge amounts of keen supporters. And why not? It’s a consistently thrilling lottery-type game that’s uncomplicated to master, abundantly available in loads of alternate variations, and one that will pay out mega-dollars for players who master its heaps of subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basic facts for now.

When defining keno to newcomers, some gambling experts compare it to bingo. This is at least to some extent apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far might be to discount the endless unique characteristics that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the power to select the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is granted an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he or she thinks is appropriate. 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 of your picked numbers with a every day oldmarker like you had when you were in third grade.

Once you have selected your numbers, take your card back to the girl at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will collect precisely $.00 for your winning card.

OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let us advance to something a little more complicated, shall we?

After you’ve selected your numbers, get into a comfy keno booth and observe the action take place on the monitor. That is where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you selected winners, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to take too much time, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You need to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, since a new round of keno will probably begin within a few minutes.

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

Since you can not trust yourself to make that 5 minute margin each time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty tickets. When the maximum amount of keno games (fitting the amount of tickets) is played out, you may then get off your numb bum and go redeem your winnings.

Still another option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which usually lets you make number choices for 30 rounds or more. Hell, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

And now you are aware of a couple indispensable techniques for winning keno. If you are an advanced gambler, they might seem to be quite obvious. But it doesn’t hurt to bone up on the basic techniques, and if you are a newbie keno player, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno gambling more entertaining.
