It may not often be deemed the funnest game in the realm of wagering, but keno has huge amounts of keen fans. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a always entertaining lottery-ish game that’s a snap to learn, abundantly available in tons of alternate formats, and one that will pay out millions of dollars for people who learn its uncounted subtle nuances. But let’s start with the beginner’s rules here.
When describing keno to newbies, some gaming masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least in part correct, in that both games are basically numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far might be to downplay the innumerable unique aspect that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno users have the power to select the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the user is given an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as many (or as few) numbers as he or she desires. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your desired numbers with a every day oldpen like you used back in school.
Once you’ve selected your numbers, take the card back to the girl at the keno stand. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning ticket with you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your actions.
OK, so there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno slip. Let us get on to something a bit more advanced, shall we?
Now that you’ve marked your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and see the action happen on the monitor. This is where the winning numbers show up for us. If you checked winners, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to take your time, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get up to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, and then a new drawing will probably get going within not too many minutes.
Strategy number two: always get back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you can not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 slips. When the maximum amount of rounds (fitting the amount of tickets) is completed, you should then get off your numb butt and go redeem your winnings.
Yet another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which commonly lets you make number selection for thirty keno games or more. Hell, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!
So now you know a handful of essential methods for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable keno player, they might seem to be very obvious. However, it will never hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a novice user, every bit of information will help make your keno experience more fun.
