It may not ordinarily be thought of as the best game in the realm of gambling, but keno has millions of devoted admirers. And it ought to! It’s a routinely entertaining lotto-esque game that’s a snap to learn, abundantly available in loads of different formats, and one that may yield millions of dollars for people who master its numerous subtle nuances. But let’s start with the beginner’s rules for now.

When defining keno to newcomers, some betting experts compare it to the lottery. This is at least tolerably correct, in that both games are basically numerical. But to carry that comparison too far might be to misunderstand the innumerable unique traits that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the freedom to select the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is furnished with an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to select as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. And it doesn’t take a super genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your chosen numbers with a standard#2 pencil like you had when you were in grade 3.

After you’ve marked your numbers, carry your card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to misplace this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning ticket in hand, you will get exactly $.00 for your time spent.

Ok, there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us move on to something a little more complicated, yes?

Once you’ve picked your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and see the action take place on the screen. That is where the winning numbers are shown in lights. If you have winners, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to dilly dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get back to the keno booth to collect your winnings, as a new drawing will probably begin within a few minutes.

Strategy number 2: always go back to the keno stand on time!

Since you can not trust yourself to make that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty slips. When the max amount of games (the same as the number of tickets) is completed, you may then get off your lazy back side and go redeem your winnings.

Yet an additional option is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally lets you make number choices for thirty keno rounds or more. Golly, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to worry about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you know a few essential methods for winning keno. If you are a skillful user, they may seem incredibly obvious. Still, it will never hurt to study up on the fundamentals, and if you are a beginner user, every bit of advice will help make your keno playing time more fun.
