It won’t generally be seen as the funnest game in the field of betting, but keno has millions and millions of passionate supporters. And why not? It’s a constantly entertaining lottery-like game that’s a breeze to master, abundantly available in many alternate variations, and one that might yield mega-dollars for gamblers who master its limitless subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basics here.
When explaining keno to newbies, some gambling pros compare it to the lottery. This is at least partly apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. But to take that comparison too far can be to discount the innumerable unique traits that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the ability to choose the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is accord an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as many (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your chosen numbers with a good oldball point pen like you had when you were in school.
After you have selected your numbers, take the keno card back to the person at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will get precisely $.00 for your actions.
Ok, there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let us go on to something a little bit more useful, ok?
After you’ve marked your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action unfold on the keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers appear in lights. If you marked winners, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to dally, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You want to get up to the keno booth to get your winnings, and a new round of keno will almost certainly begin within not too many minutes.
Strategy number 2: always get back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you do not trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline each time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the maximum number of rounds (the same as the amount of tickets) is completed, you will then be able to get off your lazy butt and go retrieve your winnings.
Still another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly allows you make number picks for 30 keno rounds or more. Hell, you can take a world tour and not have to fret about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
So now you have learned several needed strategies for winning keno. If you are an advanced player, they may seem to be quite obvious. But it does not hurt to brush up on the basic techniques, and if you are a new user, every bit of information will help make your keno playing more agreeable.
