It will not usually be seen as the best game in the field of betting, but keno has loads of passionate fans. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a regularly thrilling lottery-ish game that’s a breeze to learn, abundantly available in loads of assorted formats, and one that will pay out millions for players who learn its innumerable subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basics here.

When explaining keno to beginners, some gambling experts compare it to lotto. This is at least in some ways correct, in that both games are generally numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far might be to undervalue the good many unique characteristics that make keno so interesting. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to pick the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the user is furnished with an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as she needs. And it doesn’t take a genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your selected numbers with a normalball point pen like you had when you were in school.

After you have checked your numbers, take your keno card back to the nice person at the keno stand. The nice person will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will win precisely $.00 for your time spent.

Now there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s move on to something a little bit more advanced, yes?

After you’ve selected your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action happen on a video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you picked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, and a new drawing will most likely start up within 5 minutes.

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

Since you can not trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty slips. When the max amount of games (matching the number of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your lazy rump and go retrieve your winnings.

Still another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which generally lets you make number selection for 30 rounds or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

And now you know several required methods for winning keno. If you are a skillful user, they may appear to be quite obvious. However, it doesn’t hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a beginner keno player, every bit of direction will help make your keno experience more exciting.
