Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is granted an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a standardpen like you had when you were in grade 3.
After you have picked your numbers, take your card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The girl will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt.
