It will not often be thought of as the funnest game in the universe of gaming, but keno has tons of zealous supporters. And so it should! It’s a consistently exciting lottery-like game that’s simple to learn, abundantly available in tons of different variations, and one that will pay out millions of dollars for people who learn its uncounted subtle rules. But let’s begin with the basic facts for now.
When explaining keno to newbies, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to the lottery. This is at least to a certain degree correct, in that each game is essentially numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far will be to downplay the many unique traits that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno players have the ability to choose the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the user is given an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as he or she desires. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your picked numbers with a normalpen like you had back in school.
Once you have checked your numbers, carry the card back to the person at the keno stand. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning ticket with you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your time spent.
And there you have strategy #1: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let’s advance to something a little bit more complex, yes?
Now that you’ve marked your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and see the action happen on the big keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers appear in lights. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get back to the keno stand to get your winnings, and then a new round of keno will certainly get going within not too many minutes.
Strategy number two: always make sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Since you can not trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin each time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from two to twenty cards. When the maximum amount of games (matching the amount of tickets) is completed, you are then able to get off your numb butt and go get your winnings.
Yet another opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly lets you make number selection for thirty keno games or more. Golly, you can take a world tour and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
So now you have learned several necessary techniques for winning keno. If you are an experienced player, they may seem very obvious. However, it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a beginner user, every bit of information will help make your keno playing more entertaining.
