It won’t often be thought of as the sexiest game in the arena of gambling, but keno has tons of fanatical followers. And why not? It’s a always entertaining lotto-type game that’s a breeze to play, readily available in loads of alternate formats, and one that may yield mega-dollars for people who learn its many subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the beginner’s rules for now.

When defining keno to novices, some gambling experts compare it to bingo. This is at least partly apt, in that each game is essentially numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far will be to discount the innumerable unique aspect that make keno so compelling. Not like bingo, keno users have the ability to pick the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is given an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as she wants. 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 your picked numbers with a standard#2 pencil like you had when you were in grade 3.

Now that you’ve marked your numbers, take your keno card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The girl will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and wants help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will get exactly $.00 for your efforts.

And there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us go on to something a little bit more advanced, ok?

Now that you’ve picked your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and watch the action take place on a big video monitor. That is where the winning numbers appear for all to see. If you checked winners, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to move to slowly, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You want to get up to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, and a new round of keno will almost certainly get going within five minutes.

Strategy number 2: always get back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you can not trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline each and every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty slips. When the max number of rounds (matching the amount of tickets) is played, you can then get off your lazy bum and go redeem your winnings.

Another opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which usually lets you make number choices for thirty games or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to worry about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after purchase!

So now you are aware of a handful of essential strategies for winning keno. If you are an experienced player, they may seem very obvious. However, it won’t hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a new keno player, every bit of direction will help make your keno playing more enjoyable.
