It will not generally be considered the funnest game in the universe of gaming, but keno has millions of keen followers. And it ought to! It’s a constantly entertaining lotto-esque game that’s simple to learn, abundantly available in loads of alternate styles, and one that can yield millions of dollars for players who master its limitless subtle rules. But let’s deal with the basic rules here.
When explaining keno to newcomers, some wagering connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least to some extent apt, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. But to carry that comparison too far might be to detract from the many unique traits that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno players have the power to choose the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is given an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to pick as many (or as few) numbers as he wants. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a ordinarymarker like you used back in school.
Now that you have selected your numbers, carry your game card back to the person at the keno booth. The nice person will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your winning card.
Now there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let’s advance to something a little bit more advanced, ok?
Once you’ve picked your numbers, settle into a nice keno booth and watch the action happen on a video monitor. That is where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to drag your feet, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get back to the keno stand to get your winnings, since a new keno game will most likely begin within 5 minutes.
Strategy number 2: always make it back to the keno stand on time!
Since you can’t trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty cards. When the max amount of games (matching the amount of tickets) is played, you can then get off your lazy butt and go get your winnings.
Yet an additional opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly allows you make number selection for thirty rounds or more. Heck, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
So now you are aware of a couple essential techniques for winning keno. If you are a good user, they may seem quite obvious. But it does not hurt to study up on the basic practices, and if you are a newbie user, every little bit of direction will help make your keno betting more fun.
