It won’t usually be looked at as the sexiest game in the universe of wagering, but keno has millions of fanatical followers. And it ought to! It’s a constantly exciting lotto-like game that’s easy to play, abundantly available in loads of assorted styles, and one that may return millions for those who master its heaps of subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basic rules here.

When describing keno to amateurs, some gaming experts compare it to lotto. This is at least tolerably apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. However, to take that comparison too far might be to detract from the innumerable unique characteristics that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno users 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 additional level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as many (or as few) numbers as he or she desires. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your picked numbers with a standardmarker like you used back in the day.

Once you have picked your numbers, carry the card back to the person at the keno stand. The clerk will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning slip with you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your efforts.

Now there you have strategy #1: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let’s get on to something a bit more complex, what do you think?

Now that you’ve selected your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and watch the action unfold on a video monitor. This is where the winning numbers appear for all to see. If you checked winners, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to dilly dally, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You are required to get back to the keno stand to collect your winnings, and a new keno game will surely get going within five minutes.

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

Since you don’t trust yourself to make that five-minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your chosen numbers on anywhere from two to 20 tickets. When the max number of keno games (matching the number of tickets) is finished, you should then get off your lazy bum and go retrieve your winnings.

Another choice is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which generally lets you make number picks for 30 keno games or more. Gosh, you can take a world tour and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

So now you know a couple required techniques for winning keno. If you are an advanced keno player, they might seem to be stupidly obvious. However, it won’t hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a beginner player, every bit of advice will help make your keno gambling more fun.
