It may not commonly be deemed the most lucrative game in the arena of wagering, but keno has huge amounts of passionate supporters. And it should! It’s a always exciting lotto-esque game that’s uncomplicated to play, abundantly available in lots of alternate styles, and one that might pay out mega-dollars for people who master its numerous subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basics here.
When explaining keno to newcomers, some gaming experts compare it to bingo. This is at least to a certain degree correct, in that both games are essentially numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far might be to underrate the endless unique aspect that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno players have the ability to choose the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the player is furnished with an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as she wants. And it doesn’t take a super genius to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your handpicked numbers with a standard#2 pencil like you used when you were in school.
Once you’ve selected your numbers, take your game card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The girl will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will be given exactly $.00 for your actions.
Now there you have strategy number one: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s move to something a bit more advanced, shall we?
Now that you’ve checked off your numbers, get yourself into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action unfold on the keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers are displayed for all to see. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Sake care not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, as a new round of keno will surely begin within a few minutes.
Strategy number 2: always be sure to get back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you don’t trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the maximum amount of keno games (matching the number of tickets) is played, you are then able to get off your lazy back side and go get your winnings.
Still another option is recognized as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which normally lets you make number selection for 30 games or more. Heck, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to worry about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
And now you have learned a couple indispensable methods for winning keno. If you are a skillful keno player, they might seem to be quite obvious. But it will not hurt to brush up on the basic methods, and if you are a beginner player, every bit of advice will help make your keno betting more entertaining.
