It might not ordinarily be looked at as the sexiest game in the arena of wagering, but keno has massive amounts of dedicated admirers. And so it should! It’s a constantly entertaining lotto-esque game that’s a snap to pickup, abundantly available in lots of assorted variations, and one that can return mega-dollars for people who learn its many subtle rules. But let’s begin with the basic rules here.
When describing keno to newbies, some wagering connoisseurs compare it to lotto. This is at least in some ways apt, in that each game is generally numerical. But to carry that comparison too far can be to misunderstand the innumerable unique characteristics that make keno so entertaining. Not like bingo, keno players have the freedom to choose the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a grand 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 determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your desired numbers with a good old#2 pencil like you used back in the day.
After you’ve marked your numbers, carry the game card back to the person at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning slip on you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your efforts.
So, there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s advance to something a little bit more advanced, ok?
Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and observe the action take place on a video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers appear in lights. If you picked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to dilly dally, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get back to the keno stand to get your winnings, and a new round of keno will certainly get going within 5 minutes.
Strategy number 2: always get back to the keno booth on time!
Since you don’t trust yourself to meet that 5 minute deadline every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty slips. When the maximum number of games (the same as the number of tickets) is played out, you are then able to get off your lazy rump and go get your winnings.
Yet an additional opportunity is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which usually lets you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to worry about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after purchase!
And now you know a handful of essential schemes for winning keno. If you are a discerning player, they might seem to be incredibly obvious. However, it does not hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice user, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno wagering more enjoyable.
