It will not commonly be seen as the best game in the realm of gambling, but keno has tons of dedicated admirers. And why not? It’s a constantly exciting lotto-type game that’s easy to pickup, readily available in several alternate variations, and one that can pay out millions for those who learn its countless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basics for now.
When describing keno to novices, some betting pros compare it to bingo. This is at least tolerably correct, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. But to take that comparison too far will be to discount the innumerable unique characteristics that make keno so compelling. Unlike bingo, keno players have the ability to pick the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the user is granted an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as he thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a super genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your chosen numbers with a every day old#2 pencil like you used when you were in grade 3.
After you’ve picked your numbers, carry your keno card back to the person at the keno booth. The nice person will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to lose this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and wants help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will get exactly $.00 for your winning card.
And there you have strategy #1: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let us advance to something a bit more complicated, ok?
Now that you’ve picked out your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and observe the action take place on the video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers appear for all to see. If you checked winners, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to dilly dally, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You need to get up to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, as a new keno game will probably start up within not too many minutes.
Strategy #2: always go back to the keno booth on time!
Since you can not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the max amount of keno games (the same as the amount of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your numb butt and go redeem your winnings.
Yet another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which generally lets you make number choices for thirty rounds or more. Heck, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to fret about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
And now you are aware of a couple necessary methods for winning keno. If you are a good player, they may seem to be stupidly obvious. But it won’t hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a novice player, every little bit of direction will help make your keno betting more entertaining.
