It might not usually be thought of as the best game in the arena of gaming, but keno has loads of passionate fans. As well it should! It’s a always thrilling lottery-ish game that’s uncomplicated to play, readily available in tons of assorted variations, and one that will return millions for players who learn its endless subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basics for now.
When explaining keno to novices, some wagering experts compare it to bingo. This is at least tolerably apt, in that both games are generally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far is likely to be to undervalue the good many unique traits that make keno so interesting. Unlike bingo, keno users have the ability to select the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is granted an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as many (or as few) numbers as she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a good old#2 pencil like you used when you were in third grade.
After you’ve selected your numbers, carry the game card back to the person at the keno booth. The person will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your mug and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will get exactly $.00 for your efforts.
OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s move to something a bit more useful, shall we?
Now that you’ve marked your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and see the action take place on a monitor. That is where the winning numbers are shown for us. If you selected winners, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to drag your feet, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You must get up to the keno stand to get your winnings, and then a new drawing will surely start up within 5 minutes.
Strategy number two: always be sure to get back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you do not trust yourself to make that five-minute deadline each time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 tickets. When the max number of games (fitting the number of tickets) is played out, you will then be able to get off your lazy back side and go get your winnings.
Yet an additional alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which usually allows you make number picks for thirty keno rounds or more. Gosh, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to retrieve your numbers. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!
So now you have learned a couple necessary methods for winning keno. If you are an accomplished player, they might seem very obvious. But it will never hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a newbie player, every little bit of information will help make your keno betting more entertaining.
