It won’t usually be deemed the sexiest game in the universe of wagering, but keno has millions and millions of keen supporters. And it ought to! It’s a constantly exciting lotto-type game that’s simple to master, abundantly available in tons of assorted styles, and one that will yield millions of dollars for gamblers who master its endless subtle rules. But let’s start with the beginner’s rules here.
When defining keno to beginners, some wagering masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least partially apt, in that both games are essentially numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far is likely to be to devalue the endless unique traits that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the freedom to select the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the user is given an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he desires. 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 desired numbers with a normalball point pen like you had back in school.
After you’ve selected your numbers, carry your game card back to the person at the keno stand. The nice person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will collect precisely $.00 for your time spent.
OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s get on to something a little more useful, ok?
Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and watch the action happen on a monitor. That is where the winning numbers appear for all to see. If you’ve got winners, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to dilly dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You are required to get up to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, and a new keno game will likely start within a few minutes.
Strategy #2: always make it back to the keno booth on time!
Since you don’t trust yourself to beat that five-minute margin each time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the max amount of games (the same as the number of tickets) is played out, you should then get off your lazy rump and go retrieve your winnings.
Still another option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly allows you make number picks for 30 rounds or more. Golly, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to worry about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!
So now you have learned a few necessary techniques for winning keno. If you are an adept gambler, they may seem to be incredibly obvious. However, it will not hurt to study up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner user, every little bit of advice will help make your keno gambling more enjoyable.
