It won’t generally be considered the most lucrative game in the universe of gaming, but keno has millions and millions of steadfast fans. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a regularly thrilling lottery-like game that’s simple to learn, abundantly available in many different formats, and one that will return mega-dollars for people who master its many subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the beginner’s rules here.

When describing keno to amateurs, some gaming pros compare it to lotto. This is at least tolerably apt, in that both games are basically numerical. But to carry that comparison too far will be to detract from the countless unique characteristics that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno users have the ability to choose the numbers for each card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is granted an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he desires. 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 chosen numbers with a normalpen like you used when you were in third grade.

After you’ve picked your numbers, carry your card back to the keno pit manager at the keno stand. The clerk will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your mug and wants help out, without a winning ticket with you, you will win exactly $.00 for your time spent.

So, there you have strategy #1: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let’s get on to something a tiny bit more advanced, ok?

Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action take place on the video monitor. This is where the winning numbers appear in lights. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to move to slowly, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, as a new keno game will certainly start within 5 minutes.

Strategy number 2: always get back to the keno booth on time!

Since you don’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty slips. When the max number of games (fitting the number of tickets) is played out, you may then get off your numb back side and go retrieve your winnings.

Yet another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally lets you make number selection for thirty keno games or more. Hell, you can take vacation to France and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to retrieve your numbers. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you by it!

And now you are aware of a number of needed strategies for winning keno. If you are a knowledgeable player, they may appear to be stupidly obvious. But it doesn’t hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a new player, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno experience more agreeable.
