It’s a consistently thrilling lottery-style game that’s easy to pickup, abundantly available in tons of alternate styles, and one that might return millions of dollars for gamblers who master its limitless subtle rules. But let’s begin with the basics here.

When explaining keno to amateurs, some gaming experts compare it to bingo. This is at least partially apt, in that both games are essentially numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far will be to detract from the good many unique characteristics that make keno so interesting. Unlike bingo, keno players have the ability to choose the numbers for every card.

Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the user is accord an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he or she needs. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your chosen numbers with a good old#2 pencil like you used when you were in school.

Once you have picked your numbers, take the game card back to the keno pit manager at the keno booth. The nice person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) lucrative piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your mug and wants help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will get precisely $.00 for your time spent.

OK, so there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno slip. Let us move to something a little bit more complex, yes?

Now that you’ve marked your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and watch the action happen on the monitor. That is where the winning numbers appear in lights. If you selected winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to move to slowly, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get up to the keno stand to collect your winnings, since a new keno game will almost certainly get going within a few minutes.

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

Assuming you don’t trust yourself to make that five-minute deadline every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty tickets. When the max amount of rounds (the same as the number of tickets) is played, you will then be able to get off your lazy butt and go redeem your winnings.

Still another option is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which commonly allows you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Heck, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to fret about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!

So now you have learned a handful of required methods for winning keno. If you are a discerning gambler, they might appear to be quite obvious. However, it does not hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a novice user, every bit of advice will help make your keno wagering more exciting.
