It may not usually be thought of as the best game in the realm of betting, but keno has tons of fanatical followers. And why not? It’s a consistently entertaining lotto-esque game that’s easy to learn, readily available in several alternate formats, and one that can pay out millions for those who learn its limitless subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basic facts here.
When defining keno to newbies, some betting experts compare it to lotto. This is at least to a certain degree correct, in that both games are essentially numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far is likely to be to underestimate the many unique characteristics that make keno so entertaining. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the ability to select the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is accord an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to choose 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 chosen numbers with a ordinaryball point pen like you had back in school.
Now that you have picked your numbers, take the keno card back to the person at the keno stand. The girl will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will win exactly $.00 for your actions.
So, there you have strategy #1: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let’s get on to something a little bit more advanced, ok?
Once you’ve marked your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and see the action unfold on a monitor. That’s where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you picked winners, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to take too much time, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You need to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, since a new keno game will most likely begin within 5 minutes.
Strategy number two: always make sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you can’t trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline each time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the maximum amount of rounds (matching the amount of tickets) is finished, you may then get off your lazy bum and go redeem your winnings.
Another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which normally lets you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Gosh, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to fret about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!
And now you are aware of a few indispensable strategies for winning keno. If you are a skillful gambler, they might seem quite obvious. Still, it will never hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner keno player, every little bit of advice will help make your keno gambling more captivating.
