It might not commonly be seen as the best game in the arena of gaming, but keno has tons of steadfast players. And why not? It’s a always entertaining lotto-esque game that’s easy to pickup, readily available in several alternate formats, and one that may pay out mega-dollars for gamblers who learn its uncounted subtle rules. But let’s begin with the beginner’s rules here.
When describing keno to beginners, some wagering experts compare it to the lottery. This is at least in some measure correct, in that each game is generally numerical. However, to take that comparison too far is likely to be to belittle the great many unique aspect that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the power to choose the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the player is granted an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as numerous (or as few) numbers as she needs. And it doesn’t take a genius to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your chosen numbers with a normalball point pen like you used back in school.
Once you’ve checked your numbers, take the card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning receipt with you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your efforts.
Now there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let’s move to something a little more complex, yes?
Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action take place on a monitor. This is where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you picked winners, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to dally, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, and then a new round of keno will most likely start up within 5 minutes.
Strategy number 2: always be sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you can not trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline each time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty tickets. When the max amount of rounds (the same as the number of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your numb butt and go redeem your winnings.
Still another option is recognized as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which generally lets you make number selection for thirty keno rounds or more. Golly, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!
So now you have learned a couple of essential methods for winning keno. If you are a skillful gambler, they may seem to be very obvious. Still, it will not hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a beginner gambler, every little bit of information will help make your keno betting more fun.
