Keno Strategies That Make Money
It may not often be considered the funnest game in the field of betting, but keno has tons of fanatical players. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a routinely exciting lottery-ish game that’s simple to learn, abundantly available in a number of different formats, and one that will yield millions of dollars for players who master its uncounted subtle intricacies. But let’s deal with the basic facts here.
When defining keno to beginners, some betting pros compare it to lotto. This is at least in some measure correct, in that each game is basically numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far will be to undervalue the many unique aspect that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno users have the power to select the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the user is accord an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to determine as numerous (or as few) numbers as she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a super genius to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your desired numbers with a ordinarymarker like you had when you were in school.
After you’ve picked your numbers, take your keno card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning ticket in hand, you will be given precisely $.00 for your time spent.
So, there you have strategy numero uno: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let us go on to something a bit more complicated, yes?
Once you’ve marked your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and see the action happen on the screen. That is where the winning numbers appear for all to see. If you checked winners, mark your card aptly. Be sure not to take your time, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You need to get up to the keno booth to collect your winnings, and then a new round of keno will certainly start up within 5 minutes.
Strategy number 2: always make it back to the keno stand on time!
Since you can’t trust yourself to beat that five-minute margin every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty cards. When the max amount of rounds (the same as the amount of tickets) is played, you may then get off your lazy butt and go get your winnings.
Another choice is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally lets you make number selection for thirty keno rounds or more. Gosh, you can take an ocean cruise 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 purchase!
So now you know a couple required techniques for winning keno. If you are an accomplished user, they may appear to be stupidly obvious. Still, it does not hurt to bone up on the basic strategies, and if you are a novice keno player, every little bit of direction will help make your keno betting more fun.
