It may not often be deemed the most lucrative game in the universe of gambling, but keno has millions of steadfast players. And why not? It’s a constantly entertaining lotto-style game that’s a breeze to learn, abundantly available in lots of assorted styles, and one that might pay out millions of dollars for players who learn its many subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basics here.
When describing keno to newbies, some gambling connoisseurs compare it to lotto. This is at least in part correct, in that each game is basically numerical. However, to take that comparison too far will be to devalue the countless unique aspect that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the power to choose the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the user is accord an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to select as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. 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 chosen numbers with a good old#2 pencil like you used when you were in grade 3.
After you have picked your numbers, carry the keno card back to the nice person at the keno stand. The keno pit manager will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your loud shirt and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your efforts.
Now there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno slip. Let us advance to something a little more complex, yes?
Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and watch the action take place on a video monitor. That is where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you have winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to drag your feet, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, and a new drawing will likely start within a few minutes.
Strategy #2: always be sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Since you can’t trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline each and every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the max amount of keno games (the same as the amount of tickets) is played, you will then be able to get off your lazy bum and go retrieve your winnings.
Yet another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally lets you make number selection for 30 rounds or more. Hell, you can take all the time in the world and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
So now you are aware of several essential methods for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable player, they may seem to be very obvious. However, it won’t hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice user, every bit of advice will help make your keno betting more entertaining.
