It might not ordinarily be thought of as the best game in the universe of betting, but keno has loads of dedicated enthusiasts. And why not? It’s a always thrilling lotto-type game that’s simple to pickup, readily available in lots of different formats, and one that might pay out mega-dollars for players who learn its countless subtle rules. But let’s begin with the basic rules for now.
When explaining keno to newbies, some gambling masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least partly apt, in that each game is generally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far would be to think too little of the innumerable unique characteristics that make keno so entertaining. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to select the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is given an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as many (or as few) numbers as she desires. 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 normalpen like you used when you were a kid.
Now that you have selected your numbers, carry the card back to the nice person at the keno stand. The girl will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning slip with you, you will win exactly $.00 for your winning card.
Ok, there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let’s go on to something a bit more advanced, what do you think?
Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and watch the action unfold on the screen. That’s where the winning numbers show up for us. If you picked winners, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to drag your feet, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You must get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, as a new drawing will certainly get going within 5 minutes.
Strategy number two: always make sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you don’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the max amount of rounds (fitting the amount of tickets) is played, you can then get off your numb butt and go collect your winnings.
Another option is recognized as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which normally lets you make number choices for 30 games or more. Golly, you can take vacation to France and not have to worry about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
So now you are aware of a number of essential techniques for winning keno. If you are an adept gambler, they might seem to be incredibly obvious. Still, it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a new player, every bit of information will help make your keno games more fun.
