It will not commonly be thought of as the most lucrative game in the realm of betting, but keno has massive amounts of devoted followers. As well it should! It’s a consistently thrilling lotto-type game that’s easy to pickup, readily available in tons of alternate variations, and one that may yield millions for those who learn its heaps of subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basic rules here.
When explaining keno to newbies, some gambling experts compare it to the lottery. This is at least to a certain extent correct, in that both games are generally numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far would be to belittle the endless unique aspect that make keno so compelling. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the freedom to select the numbers for each 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 determine as many (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your desired numbers with a ordinary#2 pencil like you had when you were in school.
Now that you’ve selected your numbers, carry your card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The girl will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will be given exactly $.00 for your winning card.
And there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let’s advance to something a bit more complicated, what do you think?
After you’ve checked off your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and see the action take place on the video monitor. This is where the winning numbers are shown for all to see. If you’ve got winners, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to move to slowly, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You want to get up to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, and a new keno game will surely start within not too many minutes.
Strategy number 2: always be sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you can not trust yourself to beat that five-minute deadline every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 slips. When the maximum amount of rounds (fitting the amount of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your numb rump and go get your winnings.
Yet an additional alternative is recognized as a "stray and play" keno card, which commonly allows you make number picks for thirty games or more. Hell, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to fret about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you by it!
So now you have learned a couple essential schemes for winning keno. If you are an adept keno player, they might appear to be very obvious. But it does not hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a beginner gambler, every bit of information will help make your keno wagering more agreeable.
