It won’t commonly be looked at as the funnest game in the arena of betting, but keno has loads of devoted supporters. And it ought to! It’s a always exciting lottery-like game that’s a breeze to learn, readily available in lots of alternate variations, and one that can yield millions for those who learn its uncounted subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basic facts for now.
When explaining keno to newcomers, some gaming experts compare it to lotto. This is at least in some ways correct, in that both games are essentially numerical. But to carry that comparison too far will be to think too little of the endless unique aspect that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the freedom to choose the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is given an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he feels they need. 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 selected numbers with a standard#2 pencil like you had when you were a kid.
Once you’ve picked your numbers, take the card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The clerk will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will win precisely $.00 for your time spent.
So, there you have strategy #1: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let us get on to something a tiny bit more complex, shall we?
After you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action happen on the big keno monitor. That is where the winning numbers show up for us. If you picked winners, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to drag your feet, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, and a new keno game will probably start within a few minutes.
Strategy #2: always get back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you can not trust yourself to meet that five-minute margin each and every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 slips. When the maximum amount of games (the same as the number of tickets) is played, you can then get off your lazy butt and go retrieve your winnings.
Another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which usually lets you make number picks for 30 rounds or more. Heck, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to retrieve your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after purchase!
So now you know a few required schemes for winning keno. If you are an adept keno player, they may seem to be incredibly obvious. However, it will never hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a novice user, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno betting more captivating.
