Keno Tactics That Work
It may not often be considered the most fun game in the world of gaming, but keno has huge amounts of passionate admirers. As well it should! It's a always entertaining lottery-type game that's easy to pickup, readily available in a number of alternate formats, and one that might yield millions for those who learn its uncounted subtle nuances. But let's start with the basics here.
When explaining keno to newbies, some betting masters compare it to bingo. This is at least partially apt, in that each game is generally numerical. But to take that comparison too far might be to devalue the countless unique aspect that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the freedom to pick the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the user is given an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as she desires. And it doesn't take a doctor of keno to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your handpicked numbers with a ordinarypen like you had when you were in school.
Once you have selected your numbers, carry your card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not lose this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning slip on you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your winning card.
So, there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let's move to something a tiny bit more advanced, ok?
After you've picked out your numbers, get yourself into a comfy keno booth and see the action take place on the screen. That is where the winning numbers are shown for all to see. If you've got winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to take too much time, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You really want to get up to the keno booth to collect your winnings, as a new drawing will probably begin within 5 minutes.
Strategy number two: always get back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you can't trust yourself to meet that five-minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the max amount of rounds (the same as the amount of tickets) is completed, you may then get off your numb butt and go redeem your winnings.
Another opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which normally allows you make number picks for 30 keno rounds or more. Gosh, you can take vacation to Greece and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to retrieve your numbers. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after it's bought!
So now you know a number of needed methods for winning keno. If you are a discerning keno player, they may appear to be quite obvious. But it does not hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice gambler, every little bit of advice will help make your keno playing time more agreeable.
