It will not often be thought of as the sexiest game in the realm of betting, but keno has millions and millions of passionate followers. And it ought to! It’s a always entertaining lottery-ish game that’s uncomplicated to play, abundantly available in loads of different formats, and one that might yield millions of dollars for gamblers who learn its numerous subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basic rules for now.
When explaining keno to newbies, some gaming experts compare it to bingo. This is at least to some extent apt, in that each game is essentially numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far might be to misunderstand the many unique characteristics that make keno so interesting. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the power to select the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is given an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she desires. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your selected numbers with a normalpen like you had back in school.
After you’ve checked your numbers, carry the keno card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The girl will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning slip on you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your winning card.
OK, so there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let us get on to something a little bit more useful, what do you think?
After you’ve marked your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and see the action happen on a big video monitor. This is where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you selected winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to dilly dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, and a new drawing will likely get going within five minutes.
Strategy number two: always make sure to get back to the keno stand on time!
Since you can’t trust yourself to make that five-minute margin every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 tickets. When the max amount of rounds (fitting the number of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your numb rump and go collect your winnings.
Yet another option is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly allows you make number selection for 30 rounds or more. Hell, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to worry about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you by it!
And now you know several necessary strategies for winning keno. If you are an advanced user, they might appear to be quite obvious. However, it does not hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice keno player, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno betting more fun.
