It might not often be thought of as the sexiest game in the world of wagering, but keno has millions and millions of dedicated enthusiasts. And so it should! It’s a always exciting lottery-type game that’s a breeze to learn, abundantly available in tons of different styles, and one that may yield millions for gamblers who learn its innumerable subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the basic rules here.

When explaining keno to newbies, some gaming pros compare it to the lottery. This is at least partially apt, in that each game is basically numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far might be to discount the good many unique characteristics that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the freedom to pick the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the player is given an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he desires. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your handpicked numbers with a standardpen like you used back in the day.

Now that you’ve selected your numbers, take the card back to the girl at the keno stand. The clerk will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning receipt with you, you will get precisely $.00 for your efforts.

Ok, there you have strategy #1: always take care to keep your keno slip. Let’s move to something a little bit more advanced, what do you think?

Once you’ve picked your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action take place on a video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you marked winners, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to take too much time, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You need to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, since a new drawing will certainly start within not too many minutes.

Strategy number two: always go back to the keno stand on time!

Assuming you do not trust yourself to beat that five-minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty cards. When the maximum number of keno games (matching the number of tickets) is completed, you may then get off your lazy bum and go get your winnings.

Still another opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which usually allows you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Hell, you can take a world tour and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

And now you have learned a handful of essential methods for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable gambler, they may seem very obvious. Still, it won’t hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a newbie keno player, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno playing time more agreeable.
