It may not generally be seen as the most fun game in the realm of betting, but keno has massive amounts of steadfast enthusiasts. And why not? It’s a always exciting lottery-ish game that’s simple to master, abundantly available in tons of assorted variations, and one that will return millions for gamblers who learn its endless subtle rules. But let’s start with the basic facts here.
When explaining keno to newbies, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to lotto. This is at least in part apt, in that each game is essentially numerical. But to carry that comparison too far might be to miscalculate the many unique traits that make keno so fun. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the freedom to select the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is accord an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he feels they need. And it doesn’t take a genius to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a normalmarker like you used back in the day.
Once you’ve picked your numbers, take the game card back to the nice person at the keno stand. The nice person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not lose this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will win exactly $.00 for your actions.
So, there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s move to something a little more complex, ok?
Once you’ve picked out your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and observe the action happen on a big video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are shown for all to see. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to dally, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You are required to get up to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, since a new keno game will certainly begin within five minutes.
Strategy number 2: always make sure to get back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you can 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 same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 slips. When the max amount of games (fitting the amount of tickets) is completed, you can then get off your numb back side and go collect your winnings.
Another option is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which generally lets you make number picks for 30 keno rounds or more. Heck, you can take all the time in the world and not have to worry about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after purchase!
So now you are aware of several needed techniques for winning keno. If you are an accomplished keno player, they may seem to be incredibly obvious. But it does not hurt to bone up on the basic techniques, and if you are a beginner keno player, every little bit of direction will help make your keno gambling more fun.
