It may not commonly be looked at as the most fun game in the arena of gambling, but keno has tons of fanatical followers. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a consistently exciting lottery-type game that’s simple to learn, readily available in many assorted variations, and one that can return mega-dollars for gamblers who learn its endless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the beginner’s rules here.
When defining keno to beginners, some gambling connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least tolerably correct, in that each game is generally numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far would be to underestimate the countless unique characteristics that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno players have the ability to select the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is accord an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your handpicked numbers with a normalball point pen like you had when you were in third grade.
Now that you have checked your numbers, take the keno card back to the person at the keno stand. The person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will get exactly $.00 for your time spent.
So, there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s move on to something a tiny bit more complex, what do you think?
Once you’ve selected your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and watch the action happen on a monitor. That is where the winning numbers appear for all to see. If you’ve got winners, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to drag your feet, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, and then a new round of keno will certainly get going within 5 minutes.
Strategy #2: always make sure to get back to the keno stand on time!
Since you can’t trust yourself to make that five-minute deadline each and every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty slips. When the maximum amount of rounds (fitting the amount of tickets) is finished, you are then able to get off your numb rump and go get your winnings.
Another alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly lets you make number selection for thirty keno games or more. Hell, you can take a world tour and not have to fret about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after purchase!
So now you know a couple essential techniques for winning keno. If you are an adept keno player, they might seem to be very obvious. Still, it does not hurt to brush up on the basic practices, and if you are a new keno player, every bit of direction will help make your keno wagering more entertaining.
