It won’t generally be deemed the most lucrative game in the arena of gaming, but keno has loads of devout fans. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a constantly thrilling lotto-like game that’s uncomplicated to play, abundantly available in tons of alternate variations, and one that can pay out millions for players who master its innumerable subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basics here.
When describing keno to novices, some betting pros compare it to lotto. This is at least to a certain degree correct, in that each game is essentially numerical. However, to take that comparison too far might be to detract from the innumerable unique characteristics that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno players have the freedom to pick the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is given an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as many (or as few) numbers as he needs. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your desired numbers with a every day oldball point pen like you used back in school.
Now that you have marked your numbers, take the card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The nice person will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning ticket in hand, you will collect precisely $.00 for your winning card.
And there you have strategy #1: always be sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s move to something a little more complex, yes?
Once you’ve checked off your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and watch the action take place on the screen. That is where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you marked winners, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to drag your feet, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You need to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, and then a new round of keno will probably start up within five minutes.
Strategy #2: always make sure to get back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you do not trust yourself to beat that five-minute margin every time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty slips. When the maximum amount of keno games (matching the amount of tickets) is completed, you are then able to get off your lazy bum and go retrieve your winnings.
Yet another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally allows you make number choices for 30 keno rounds or more. Gosh, you can take all the time in the world and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you by it!
And now you have learned a handful of indispensable methods for winning keno. If you are a good keno player, they may seem incredibly obvious. But it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice user, every little bit of information will help make your keno betting more agreeable.
