When defining keno to beginners, some gambling connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least in part correct, in that each game is basically numerical. But to carry that comparison too far will be to undervalue the countless unique characteristics that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the freedom to choose the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is accord an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as many (or as few) numbers as she desires. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your selected numbers with a standardpen like you used when you were in third grade.
Once you’ve marked your numbers, take your game card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The nice person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning slip on you, you will win exactly $.00 for your time spent.
OK, so there you have strategy #1: always take care to keep your keno slip. Let’s move on to something a tiny bit more complicated, yes?
After you’ve picked out your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and watch the action unfold on a monitor. This is where the winning numbers show up for all to see. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to move to slowly, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You are required to get up to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, and then a new keno game will probably start within not too many minutes.
Strategy number 2: always make it back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you do not trust yourself to make that 5 minute margin every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the max amount of games (fitting the amount of tickets) is played out, you will then be able to get off your lazy rump and go redeem your winnings.
Yet an additional choice is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly allows you make number selection for thirty keno rounds or more. Golly, you can take a world tour and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!
So now you know several essential schemes for winning keno. If you are an advanced player, they might seem to be quite obvious. However, it does not hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner player, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno playing more exciting.
