It may not usually be thought of as the funnest game in the arena of betting, but keno has huge amounts of zealous supporters. And so it should! It’s a routinely exciting lottery-style game that’s a breeze to pickup, abundantly available in several different formats, and one that can yield millions for gamblers who master its many subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the beginner’s rules for now.
When explaining keno to newbies, some gambling pros compare it to lotto. This is at least in some measure apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. But to carry that comparison too far would be to underestimate the endless unique characteristics that make keno so compelling. Unlike bingo, keno users have the ability to choose the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the player is accord an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your selected numbers with a ordinaryball point pen like you had back in the day.
Now that you’ve checked your numbers, take your card back to the girl at the keno stand. The girl will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your loud shirt and wants help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will get precisely $.00 for your time spent.
So, there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno slip. Let’s go on to something a little more useful, shall we?
After you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and observe the action unfold on the monitor. That is where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, and a new keno game will likely begin within not too many minutes.
Strategy number 2: always go back to the keno booth on time!
Since you can’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the maximum number of keno games (fitting the amount of tickets) is finished, you may then get off your numb bum and go retrieve your winnings.
Yet another opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which usually lets you make number picks for thirty games or more. Golly, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!
And now you are aware of several necessary techniques for winning keno. If you are an advanced gambler, they may seem very obvious. However, it will never hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a beginner player, every bit of advice will help make your keno wagering more entertaining.
