It will not commonly be deemed the funnest game in the realm of wagering, but keno has tons of fanatical fans. And it ought to! It’s a regularly entertaining lotto-type game that’s a breeze to pickup, readily available in loads of assorted formats, and one that will return millions of dollars for gamblers who learn its limitless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basics here.
When explaining keno to beginners, some gambling experts compare it to the lottery. This is at least in some measure apt, in that each game is generally numerical. But to take that comparison too far will be to downplay the countless unique traits that make keno so compelling. Not like bingo, keno players have the ability to pick the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is given an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a super genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your chosen numbers with a ordinaryball point pen like you used when you were in grade 3.
After you’ve selected your numbers, take the keno card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not lose this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning ticket in hand, you will win exactly $.00 for your winning card.
So, there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us move to something a little bit more advanced, ok?
Once you’ve selected your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and watch the action unfold on the monitor. That’s where the winning numbers appear in lights. If you checked winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to take your time, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get up to the keno booth to get your winnings, as a new round of keno will most likely start up within 5 minutes.
Strategy number two: always make it back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you do not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the maximum number of games (fitting the number of tickets) is finished, you may then get off your lazy butt and go get your winnings.
Another choice is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly lets you make number picks for thirty games or more. Gosh, you can take a world tour and not have to fret about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!
And now you know a handful of essential schemes for winning keno. If you are an experienced keno player, they might seem quite obvious. However, it doesn’t hurt to study up on the basic techniques, and if you are a beginner keno player, every little bit of direction will help make your keno wagering more exciting.
