It will not usually be looked at as the sexiest game in the universe of betting, but keno has loads of devout supporters. And it should! It’s a consistently exciting lotto-like game that’s easy to learn, abundantly available in loads of different styles, and one that can yield millions for those who master its uncounted subtle nuances. But let’s start with the basic facts for now.
When defining keno to newbies, some betting experts compare it to the lottery. This is at least in part apt, in that each game is generally numerical. But to carry that comparison too far might be to discount the innumerable unique traits that make keno so compelling. Unlike bingo, keno players have the power to select the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the user is given an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to select as numerous (or as few) numbers as she wants. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your picked numbers with a standardmarker like you used back in the day.
After you have checked your numbers, take your keno card back to the girl at the keno stand. The clerk will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will win exactly $.00 for your efforts.
OK, so there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let’s get on to something a little bit more useful, yes?
Once you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and see the action happen on the video monitor. This is where the winning numbers are shown for all to see. If you picked winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to dally, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get up to the keno booth to collect your winnings, and a new round of keno will most likely begin within not too many minutes.
Strategy #2: always make it back to the keno booth on time!
Since you can not trust yourself to meet that five-minute margin each time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 slips. When the max amount of keno games (matching the amount of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your lazy bum and go get your winnings.
Yet another option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally lets you make number choices for thirty games or more. Gosh, you can take all the time in the world and not have to fret about getting back in time to retrieve your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!
So now you are aware of a number of required strategies for winning keno. If you are a skillful keno player, they might seem incredibly obvious. But it will not hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a new user, every tiny bit of advice will help make your keno experience more fun.
