It might not ordinarily be thought of as the most fun game in the realm of gambling, but keno has massive amounts of devoted supporters. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a routinely entertaining lotto-like game that’s easy to master, readily available in lots of assorted variations, and one that can yield millions for those who master its limitless subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basics for now.
When defining keno to newbies, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to the lottery. This is at least nearly apt, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. But to carry that comparison too far might be to think too little of the countless unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Not like bingo, keno users have the power to pick the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the user is granted an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your picked numbers with a good old#2 pencil like you used when you were in school.
Once you have selected your numbers, take your card back to the girl at the keno booth. The clerk will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will win exactly $.00 for your time spent.
And there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let’s move on to something a little bit more advanced, shall we?
After you’ve picked your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action take place on the screen. That is where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you selected winners, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to move to slowly, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, and then a new drawing will surely get going within a few minutes.
Strategy number two: always make sure to get back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you can’t trust yourself to make that five-minute margin every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the max amount of games (fitting the number of tickets) is played, you may then get off your numb rump and go retrieve your winnings.
Yet an additional alternative is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which usually allows you make number selection for thirty keno games or more. Golly, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
And now you are aware of a handful of needed methods for winning keno. If you are a skillful player, they might appear to be quite obvious. However, it will not hurt to study up on the basic methods, and if you are a novice user, every little bit of advice will help make your keno wagering more enjoyable.
