It may not commonly be thought of as the sexiest game in the universe of wagering, but keno has huge amounts of dedicated admirers. And it ought to! It’s a constantly thrilling lottery-like game that’s easy to master, abundantly available in many assorted styles, and one that may pay out millions of dollars for gamblers who master its innumerable subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basics here.
When describing keno to beginners, some gambling pros compare it to the lottery. This is at least nearly correct, in that each game is essentially numerical. But to take that comparison too far can be to minimize the many unique traits that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno users have the freedom to pick the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the user is given an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to determine as numerous (or as few) numbers as he feels they need. And it doesn’t take a super genius to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your chosen numbers with a every day old#2 pencil like you used when you were in grade 3.
Now that you have picked your numbers, take your card back to the nice person at the keno stand. The girl will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will get exactly $.00 for your winning card.
Ok, there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let us advance to something a tiny bit more complicated, yes?
Once you’ve checked off your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and watch the action take place on the monitor. That is where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you selected winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to drag your feet, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, since a new round of keno will surely begin within a few minutes.
Strategy #2: always make it back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you can’t trust yourself to make that 5 minute margin each time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the max number of rounds (the same as the amount of tickets) is completed, you are then able to get off your lazy rump and go get your winnings.
Another option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly lets you make number selection for 30 rounds or more. Hell, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to fret about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
So now you know a few essential methods for winning keno. If you are an adept player, they might seem to be incredibly obvious. Still, it will never hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a beginner player, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno games more entertaining.
