It won’t often be considered the best game in the universe of wagering, but keno has tons of devoted enthusiasts. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a consistently exciting lottery-ish game that’s a snap to learn, abundantly available in lots of assorted formats, and one that may return mega-dollars for players who master its countless subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the basic facts for now.
When describing keno to amateurs, some betting pros compare it to the lottery. This is at least to a certain degree correct, in that each game is basically numerical. But to carry that comparison too far might be to belittle the countless unique traits that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno players have the freedom to choose the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is granted an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to select as numerous (or as few) numbers as he wants. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your selected numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you used when you were in school.
After you’ve picked your numbers, carry your card back to the girl at the keno booth. The nice person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will collect exactly $.00 for your actions.
So, there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno slip. Let us go on to something a bit more complex, what do you think?
Once you’ve marked your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and watch the action take place on the keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers show up for us. If you checked winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to take too much time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You need to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, as a new keno game will certainly start up within a few minutes.
Strategy number two: always go back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you can not trust yourself to make that five-minute deadline every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the maximum amount of keno games (fitting the number of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your lazy rump and go redeem your winnings.
Another alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which commonly allows you make number selection for 30 games or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after purchase!
So now you know several essential methods for winning keno. If you are an advanced gambler, they may seem very obvious. But it doesn’t hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a beginner gambler, every bit of direction will help make your keno playing more exciting.
