It might not usually be looked at as the most fun game in the realm of wagering, but keno has loads of dedicated fans. And it should! It’s a routinely entertaining lotto-ish game that’s uncomplicated to learn, abundantly available in a number of assorted styles, and one that will pay out millions of dollars for gamblers who learn its countless subtle nuances. But let’s start with the beginner’s rules here.
When explaining keno to newcomers, some gaming pros compare it to bingo. This is at least nearly apt, in that both games are generally numerical. But to take that comparison too far will be to misunderstand the countless unique characteristics that make keno so interesting. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the freedom to pick the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is furnished with an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he or she thinks is appropriate. 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 each of your chosen numbers with a normalmarker like you had when you were a kid.
After you have picked your numbers, take the keno card back to the person at the keno stand. The clerk will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your mug and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will be given precisely $.00 for your efforts.
Now there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s go on to something a tiny bit more complex, ok?
After you’ve selected your numbers, get into a comfy keno booth and see the action happen on a video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you checked winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to drag your feet, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You are required to get up to the keno booth to collect your winnings, as a new round of keno will certainly start within not too many minutes.
Strategy #2: always go back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you do not trust yourself to meet that 5 minute deadline every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the maximum amount of keno games (the same as the number of tickets) is played, you can then get off your lazy bum and go collect your winnings.
Another opportunity is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally allows you make number selection for thirty keno games or more. Hell, you can take a world tour and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
And now you know a couple of necessary methods for winning keno. If you are a skillful gambler, they may appear to be stupidly obvious. Still, it will never hurt to brush up on the basic practices, and if you are a novice keno player, every bit of advice will help make your keno wagering more agreeable.
