It might not usually be considered the best game in the universe of wagering, but keno has massive amounts of steadfast followers. And it ought to! It’s a consistently exciting lottery-like game that’s uncomplicated to pickup, readily available in tons of different styles, and one that can return millions of dollars for players who learn its heaps of subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basic rules here.
When defining keno to amateurs, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least in some measure correct, in that each game is generally numerical. But to carry that comparison too far will be to detract from the countless unique aspect that make keno so entertaining. Not like bingo, keno users have the power to pick the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is granted an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your picked numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you had back in school.
Once you’ve picked your numbers, carry the keno card back to the girl at the keno stand. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning slip on you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your efforts.
Ok, there you have strategy #1: always take care to keep your keno slip. Let us go on to something a little more complicated, shall we?
Once you’ve marked your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and watch the action happen on the keno monitor. That is where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you picked winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to drag your feet, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You must get up to the keno booth to collect your winnings, since a new drawing will most likely start up within five minutes.
Strategy number two: always make 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 buying a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty slips. When the max amount of games (matching the amount of tickets) is played out, you may then get off your lazy bum and go retrieve your winnings.
Another alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which normally lets you make number choices for thirty keno games or more. Golly, you can take vacation to France and not have to fret about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after purchase!
So now you have learned a few needed methods for winning keno. If you are a skillful player, they might appear to be stupidly obvious. But it does not hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice player, every bit of advice will help make your keno playing time more fun.
