It won’t commonly be seen as the funnest game in the field of wagering, but keno has tons of devoted admirers. And why not? It’s a regularly exciting lottery-esque game that’s a snap to master, readily available in many alternate styles, and one that will yield millions for gamblers who learn its many subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basic facts here.
When defining keno to newcomers, some gambling masters compare it to bingo. This is at least to some extent apt, in that each game is generally numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far will be to misunderstand the countless unique aspect that make keno so compelling. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the power to choose the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is given an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as numerous (or as few) numbers as he wants. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your desired numbers with a every day old#2 pencil like you had when you were in school.
Now that you have marked your numbers, take the game card back to the girl at the keno booth. The person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning ticket in hand, you will get exactly $.00 for your efforts.
So, there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno slip. Let’s advance to something a little more complex, what do you think?
Once you’ve picked out your numbers, settle into a nice keno booth and see the action unfold on the screen. That is where the winning numbers show up for us. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to dilly dally, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You must get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, since a new round of keno will almost certainly get going within 5 minutes.
Strategy #2: always be sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you do not trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the maximum number of rounds (fitting the number of tickets) is completed, you will then be able to get off your numb bum and go retrieve your winnings.
Still another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which usually lets you make number picks for 30 keno rounds or more. Hell, you can take vacation to France and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!
So now you are aware of a couple essential techniques for winning keno. If you are an adept keno player, they might appear to be very obvious. Still, it will never hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a beginner gambler, every little bit of information will help make your keno playing more entertaining.
