It will not commonly be deemed the sexiest game in the universe of gambling, but keno has millions of fanatical admirers. And why not? It’s a regularly thrilling lottery-ish game that’s a snap to master, readily available in loads of different formats, and one that may pay out mega-dollars for gamblers who learn its countless subtle rules. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules here.
When defining keno to newbies, some gambling pros compare it to bingo. This is at least nearly apt, in that both games are generally numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far will be to miscalculate the innumerable unique aspect that make keno so compelling. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the power to pick the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is accord an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as numerous (or as few) numbers as he needs. And it doesn’t take a super genius to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your selected numbers with a every day old#2 pencil like you had back in school.
Once you’ve checked your numbers, carry your card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not lose this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning slip on you, you will get exactly $.00 for your winning card.
Now there you have strategy #1: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let us move to something a tiny bit more useful, ok?
Now that you’ve picked your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and observe the action happen on the keno monitor. That is where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you checked winners, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to dilly dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You are required to get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, as a new keno game will surely start up within not too many minutes.
Strategy #2: always make sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you don’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty cards. When the maximum amount of rounds (matching the amount of tickets) is finished, you can then get off your lazy bum and go get your winnings.
Still another opportunity is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which generally allows you make number picks for 30 rounds or more. Heck, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to fret about getting back in time to retrieve your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after purchase!
So now you know a handful of indispensable schemes for winning keno. If you are a discerning user, they might appear to be quite obvious. But it will not hurt to brush up on the basic practices, and if you are a newbie user, every bit of information will help make your keno experience more agreeable.
