It won’t generally be looked at as the most lucrative game in the world of gambling, but keno has massive amounts of dedicated players. And it should! It’s a always entertaining lotto-esque game that’s simple to learn, readily available in loads of alternate variations, and one that can yield millions for gamblers who master its endless subtle nuances. But let’s start with the basic rules for now.
When explaining keno to amateurs, some betting masters compare it to lotto. This is at least nearly apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far can be to misunderstand the innumerable unique characteristics that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the power to pick the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is accord an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a super genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your selected numbers with a normalpen like you used when you were in school.
After you have checked your numbers, carry your card back to the person at the keno stand. The clerk will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your loud shirt and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will win exactly $.00 for your time spent.
And there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let us advance to something a tiny bit more advanced, shall we?
After you’ve picked your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and see the action unfold on a video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers show up for all to see. If you have winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get up to the keno booth to get your winnings, and then a new round of keno will certainly begin within 5 minutes.
Strategy #2: always go 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 purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty cards. When the maximum number of rounds (the same as the amount of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your lazy rump and go retrieve your winnings.
Yet another option is recognized as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly lets you make number selection for thirty keno rounds or more. Heck, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!
And now you know a number of essential methods for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable keno player, they may appear to be quite obvious. However, it doesn’t hurt to bone up on the basic techniques, and if you are a newbie keno player, every bit of advice will help make your keno games more enjoyable.
