It may not commonly be deemed the most fun game in the field of gambling, but keno has millions and millions of devoted players. Why wouldn't it? It's a regularly exciting lottery-ish game that's easy to play, abundantly available in several assorted formats, and one that will pay out millions for those who learn its uncounted subtle nuances. But let's start with the beginner's rules here.

When explaining keno to newcomers, some wagering pros compare it to lotto. This is at least tolerably correct, in that both games are generally numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far can be to belittle the good many unique traits that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to pick the numbers for each and every card.

Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is granted an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to pick as many (or as few) numbers as he feels they need. And it doesn't take a doctor of keno to come up with how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your selected numbers with a standardmarker like you had back in school.

Now that you have marked your numbers, carry the game card back to the girl at the keno stand. The clerk will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) valuable 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 win exactly $.00 for your winning card.

Ok, there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let's move to something a little more complicated, what do you think?

Once you've selected your numbers, settle into a comfy keno booth and observe the action happen on the monitor. This is where the winning numbers are shown in lights. If you have winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to move to slowly, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, since a new round of keno will surely get going within 5 minutes.

Strategy #2: always make sure to get back to the keno booth on time!

Since you don't trust yourself to meet that five-minute deadline every time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to twenty cards. When the maximum amount of games (matching the number of tickets) is played out, you can then get off your numb back side and go redeem your winnings.

Yet another alternative is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally allows you make number selection for 30 keno games or more. Heck, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after it's bought!

And now you are aware of several essential techniques for winning keno. If you are an accomplished gambler, they might seem stupidly obvious. But it won't hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a beginner player, every little bit of advice will help make your keno gambling more entertaining.
