Keno Strategies That Are Sure To Win
It won’t often be thought of as the most lucrative game in the realm of wagering, but keno has massive amounts of devout followers. As well it should! It’s a routinely entertaining lotto-esque game that’s easy to master, abundantly available in lots of assorted variations, and one that will pay out millions of dollars for those who master its countless subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the basic facts for now.
When describing keno to novices, some gaming pros compare it to lotto. This is at least in some measure correct, in that both games are generally numerical. However, to carry that comparison too far would be to misunderstand the innumerable unique traits that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the power to pick the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of 80 numbers, but the gambler is given an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to pick as many (or as few) numbers as she thinks is appropriate. And it doesn’t take a super genius to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your handpicked numbers with a ordinarypen like you had back in school.
After you have marked your numbers, carry your game card back to the girl at the keno booth. The girl will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning ticket on you, you will collect precisely $.00 for your winning card.
OK, so there you have strategy number one: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let us go on to something a little more complex, shall we?
Once you’ve marked your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and observe the action happen on a video monitor. That is where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you picked winners, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to move to slowly, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get back to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, and a new drawing will surely start up within not too many minutes.
Strategy number two: always get back to the keno stand on time!
Since you can not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from two to 20 slips. When the max number of keno games (the same as the number of tickets) is completed, you should then get off your numb bum and go retrieve your winnings.
Still another opportunity is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which commonly lets you make number selection for 30 games or more. Golly, you can take a Swedish massage and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" game cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s purchased!
So now you have learned a couple of essential strategies for winning keno. If you are a good gambler, they might appear to be stupidly obvious. But it will never hurt to bone up on the basic techniques, and if you are a newbie gambler, every bit of advice will help make your keno betting more enjoyable.
