It may not generally be deemed the most lucrative game in the arena of gambling, but keno has millions of keen enthusiasts. And so it should! It’s a constantly entertaining lotto-ish game that’s easy to master, abundantly available in lots of assorted styles, and one that may return mega-dollars for gamblers who master its limitless subtle nuances. But let’s start with the basics for now.
When explaining keno to novices, some betting masters compare it to lotto. This is at least to some extent apt, in that each game is essentially numerical. However, to take that comparison too far can be to miscalculate the great many unique aspect that make keno so compelling. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to pick the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is furnished with an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he or she needs. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your selected numbers with a every day old#2 pencil like you used back in the day.
Now that you’ve selected your numbers, carry your card back to the girl at the keno stand. The girl will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning slip on you, you will win precisely $.00 for your winning card.
OK, so there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno slip. Let’s move on to something a bit more useful, yes?
Once you’ve checked off your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action happen on the monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are shown in lights. If you checked winners, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to take your time, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You need to get up to the keno booth to get your winnings, and then a new drawing will almost certainly start within five minutes.
Strategy number 2: always get back to the keno booth on time!
Since you can not trust yourself to make that five-minute margin every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty slips. When the max amount of games (the same as the number of tickets) is finished, you are then able to get off your numb back side and go get your winnings.
Yet another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally lets you make number picks for 30 keno games or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to France and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!
So now you are aware of a number of indispensable methods for winning keno. If you are an experienced user, they may appear to be quite obvious. But it does not hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a novice keno player, every bit of advice will help make your keno playing more entertaining.
