It will not ordinarily be deemed the best game in the realm of gaming, but keno has millions and millions of steadfast followers. And it should! It’s a always exciting lotto-type game that’s simple to master, readily available in lots of assorted formats, and one that may yield millions for people who master its many subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the basic facts for now.
When describing keno to amateurs, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least tolerably correct, in that both games are essentially numerical. However, to take that comparison too far will be to discount the great many unique characteristics that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to pick the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the player is accord an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your chosen numbers with a normal#2 pencil like you used when you were in third grade.
Now that you have selected your numbers, take the game card back to the girl at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your loud shirt and wants help out, without a winning receipt with you, you will collect precisely $.00 for your time spent.
OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let’s move on to something a tiny bit more complex, shall we?
Now that you’ve marked your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and see the action take place on the video monitor. That is where the winning numbers appear for us. If you checked winners, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to dilly dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get up to the keno booth to get your winnings, and a new keno game will almost certainly get going within not too many minutes.
Strategy number two: always make sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you don’t trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin each and every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from two to twenty slips. When the maximum number of keno games (the same as the number of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your lazy rump and go retrieve your winnings.
Still another choice is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which usually lets you make number selection for thirty rounds or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!
And now you have learned a few required strategies for winning keno. If you are a good gambler, they may seem to be stupidly obvious. However, it will never hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a newbie player, every little bit of direction will help make your keno playing time more exciting.
